Countless hot new and famous artists will be competing for important categories like  Song of the Year, Album of the Year, Best New Artist and Songwriter of the Year. But the evening isn't just for awards, as there will be lots of entertainment.

Trevor Noah returns to host the Grammys and loads of top artists are set to perform during the show: SZA, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Billy Joel and more will all take to the stage to play for us, and U2 will livestream a show from Vegas' The Sphere too.

Here is everything you need to know on how to watch the 2024 Grammys and what to expect.

As always, the Grammys will air live on CBS, a major network on cable and satellite TV. It’s also available on live TV streaming platforms such as Hulu with Live TV, FuboTV, and YouTube TV.  

Don’t have access to CBS? Well, no worries. Paramount Plus with Showtime subscribers can also stream the event live. All Paramount Plus subscribers can watch the event the next day. 

How to watch the Grammys in the UK

Unfortunately, no broadcasters have announced plans to air the ceremony live in the UK. But you can watch highlights from the ceremony online via the live.grammy.com website. Or you can look into a VPN, which will allow you to watch the show in full. Check out our full explanation on that just below. 

How to watch the Grammys from anywhere

If the Grammys aren’t playing where you are, a potential solution to this issue is with a Virtual Private Network (VPN). 

A VPN lets you change your IP address, enabling you to watch TV shows and events like the Grammys from other locations. Our favorite is ExpressVPN, which is the No. 1-rated VPN in the world right now according to our sister site, TechRadar.
