Watch Grammys 2026
After walking away with five statuettes 12 months ago, rap superstar Kendrick Lamar leads the Grammy Award nominations again this year. Will he be the night’s biggest winner for two successive shows? You can watch Grammys 2026 online from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for FREE.
Kung Fu Kenny is up for nine gongs this Sunday (including for Best Record, Album, Song and Rap Performance), leading Lady Gaga, Cirkut and Jack Antonoff, all of who have seven nominations. As ever, the biggest names in music are up for gold, with Bad Bunny, Justin Bieber, Cynthia Erivo and Bruno Mars all also among this year’s nominees.
Comedian Trevor Noah is hosting the awards for the sixth time running, while Sabrina Carpenter (nominated for six awards in her own right) is the most highly anticipated of the performers confirmed so far. And there will be Special Merit Awards dedicated to the likes of Pharrell Williams, Carlos Santana, Chaka Khan, Cher, Paul Simon and Whitney Houston.
