About The Grammy Awards
The Grammy Awards are the most prestigious honours in the music industry, presented each year by the Recording Academy to celebrate outstanding achievement in recording. From the coveted "Big Four" general categories — Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Best New Artist — to dozens of genre awards, a Grammy is widely regarded as the highest recognition an artist or producer can earn.
The ceremony is traditionally held in early February in Los Angeles, with the main show staged at the Crypto.com Arena and broadcast live to a global audience. The night blends the awards themselves with star-studded live performances, tributes and headline-making red-carpet moments, making it one of the most-watched events on the entertainment calendar. The exact date is set by the Recording Academy each year.
Because the Grammys move within early February from year to year, the date shown above is the Academy's expected timing until the next ceremony is officially confirmed, and the counter points to the next show. Whether you are tuning in for the performances, following the nominations or marking the date, add the Grammy Awards to your own countdown page and count down to music's biggest night.
