The Grammy Awards ceremony will take place on February 7, 2027, transitioning from its long-time home on CBS to ABC, Hulu, and Disney+ in the U.S. after over five decades.
New Date and Venue
The 69th annual Grammy nominations will be announced on November 16, with the event broadcast live from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. While the producer has not been officially named, Ben Winston is expected to continue his role, having led the production since 2021.
Leadership and Vision
Harvey Mason jr., CEO of the Grammys, expressed enthusiasm about the change, stating, “The Grammys are all about celebrating the music that moves the world, and this moment is built on exactly that. This is an exciting time for us as an organization — a new home and a bold new chapter for the Grammy Awards. We’re just getting started and the best is yet to come.”
Disney's Strategic Move
Disney and ABC are preparing a large-scale promotional campaign to highlight the Grammys' new broadcasting platforms. Rita Ferro, Disney’s president of global advertising, discussed the significance of the event in the “Daily Variety” podcast, emphasizing its importance to Disney's TV strategy for 2027. Ferro noted, “Come January, we have four of the biggest live events across entertainment and sports… A week later, we’ll have the Super Bowl for the first time in over 20 years on ESPN and ABC. And a couple weeks later, we’re going to have the Oscars.”
Eligibility and Voting Periods
The eligibility period for the Grammy Awards runs from August 31, 2025, to August 31, 2026. First-round nominations voting will occur from October 12 to 22, with final voting taking place between December 10, 2026, and January 7, 2027.
