Updated on Nov. 6, 2026 in Pop
The Recording Academy will announce nominations across all 100 Grammy categories on Monday, November 16, 2026, with a livestream beginning at 7:45 a.m. ET and the full list published on Grammy.com and Billboard.com at 9:00 a.m. ET.
Why it matters
The nominations reveal sets the field for the 69th annual Grammy Awards, and the earlier broadcast time is designed to let East Coast viewers watch the top awards without staying up to midnight.
The 2027 nominations will span 100 categories, and the ceremony is scheduled for a 4 p.m. PT start, one hour earlier than prior years. Which artists will land the most nominations remains unknown until the November 16 announcement.

Industry Dynamics
The Grammys' move to a 4 p.m. PT start follows the Oscars' 2024 decision to shift their broadcast earlier for the same reason. Both moves reflect award shows adjusting timing to better serve East Coast audiences.
The 2027 Grammys will air on ABC at 7:00 p.m. ET and stream on Disney+ and Hulu, giving viewers multiple options to watch the ceremony. The earlier 4 p.m. PT start means West Coast viewers will see the broadcast in the afternoon, while East Coast audiences can watch the top awards without staying up to midnight.
