Music’s biggest night is back. The Grammy Awards will return to Los Angeles for their 67th annual ceremony, and it’s sure to be a night to remember. 

Emmy-winning comedian and former Daily Show host Trevor Noah is back to host the event for the fifth time. Beyoncé heads into the ceremony way ahead of the pack, with a total of 11 nominations, making her the most-nominated musician in Grammys history — to date, she’s racked up a career total of 99 nominations. Post Malone, Kendrick Lamar, Billie Eilish and Charli XCX are tied at seven nominations each. Taylor Swift, Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter round things out with six nominations each.

This year’s Grammys will feel slightly different, considering the recent wildfires that devastated the Los Angeles area. However, the celebration of the year’s best music will still happen. The awards event will also support the communities impacted by the disaster through partnerships with relief organizations MusiCares, DirectRelief, the Pasadena Community Foundation and the California Community Foundation.

“In addition to raising money for music people, we are proud to add these three incredible partners who are supporting the Los Angeles region in other ways to maximize our efforts of aiding those impacted by this crisis,” Recording Academy and MusiCares CEO Harvey Mason Jr. said in a statement.

How to watch the 2025 Grammys without cable

The 67th Grammy Awards will be broadcast on Sunday, Feb. 2, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. The show will air exclusively on CBS, but we also have the streaming details. Paramount Plus will air the ceremony live for subscribers to the Paramount Plus With Showtime tier — which costs $13 per month or $120 per year — via the live feed of their local CBS station. The streamer also has a seven-day free trial for folks interested in watching the event live. Customers with the Paramount Plus Essential plan ($8 per month or $60 per year) must wait until the following day to watch.

There are other ways to watch the Grammys. Live TV streaming services such as YouTube TV, Hulu Plus Live TV and Fubo offer access to CBS without cable.

Apart from the addition of Showtime programming, there are a few key differences between Paramount Plus Essential and Paramount Plus With Showtime. You won’t see as many ads if you have the Showtime plan, and the offering also lets you stream your local live CBS station and download titles for offline viewing.

YouTube TV carries 78 of the top 100 networks, including CBS. This means subscribers can watch the Grammys live. The service charges $83 a month, due to its channel library and solid DVR option, which includes unlimited storage and a 4K streaming upgrade for an extra $20 monthly fee. 

For a limited time, new subscribers can get the first six months of the service’s Base Plan for $70. Check out our YouTube TV review for more info.
