Music is clearly in Kendrick Lamar’s DNA. The hit songwriter will return to LA’s Crypto.com Arena on Sunday, February 1, where he’s on course to dominate the awards ceremony once again with a leading nine Grammy nominations. Though he’ll face stiff competition from fellow industry trailblazers like Bad Bunny and Sabrina Carpenter across several major categories.
Traveling abroad and can’t access your stream? The following guide explains how to watch Grammy Awards 2026 online and from anywhere with a VPN.
Trevor Noah is back to host “Music’s Biggest Night,” and one which seems to be getting bigger every year. The only peer-recognized award in the industry, the Grammys finds industry legends, music icons, even film stars and spiritual leaders, battling over gold gongs in an ever-growing list of categories – almost 100, and now including Best Traditional Country Album.
The event celebrates almost every aspect of record-production, across a wide range of genres including pop, R&B, African, Latin, jazz, and chant. The delightful result of casting such a wide net? Seeing first-time nominees Timothée Chalamet and His Holiness the Dalai Lama rubbing shoulders with 22-time Grammy winner Kendrick Lamar, “Espresso” hitmaker Sabrina Carpenter, and Latin superstar Bad Bunny. Though, despite their industry clout, almost all of them could lose out somewhere along the line to global hit and bona fide earworm “Golden,” from the Kpop Demon Hunters soundtrack.
