The 69th Grammy Awards air Sunday, February 7, 2027 on ABC, after more than fifty years on CBS. Here's the date, the channel, and how to watch free over the air with an antenna.
The 69th Annual Grammy Awards are Sunday, February 7, 2027, at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. After more than fifty years on CBS, the ceremony moves to ABC this year. It is still a broadcast network, so the show is free over the air with an antenna.

The short version: The Grammys are still free over the air, just on a different channel. Find your local ABC station instead of CBS, and you can watch the whole ceremony with an antenna and no subscription.
What Time Does It Start?
The Recording Academy has not announced a start time, and a host has not been named. Recent ceremonies have begun at 8:00 PM ET, with the network's pre-show coverage ahead of it, so plan on the evening of Sunday, February 7 and check your local ABC station's schedule closer to the date.
Many of the awards are actually handed out earlier in the day at the Premiere Ceremony, which has historically been streamed online rather than broadcast. The televised ceremony is the one that lands on ABC.
Free Over the Air, or Paid on Hulu and Disney+
The same broadcast streams on Hulu and Disney+, both of which need a paid subscription. The ABC broadcast needs no subscription. An antenna that picks up your local ABC station gets you the identical feed, in HD.
ABC is also one of the strongest signals in most markets. If your antenna already finds your local news, it will find the Grammys.
Find Your Local ABC Channel
ABC lands on a different channel number in nearly every city. Search your city or zip code to see your local ABC station, the channel number to tune to, and how strong a signal to expect at your address.
ABC has a busy stretch ahead: the Academy Awards follow on March 14, also free over the air. If your reception is patchy, our antenna buying guide covers what to get, and whether an amplifier helps.
