Where Can I Watch GRAMMYs 2025?

The 2025 GRAMMY Awards takes place on Sunday, February 2nd, 2025, and will be broadcast live on CBS and its streaming platform, Paramount+.

Not sure you’ll be available to watch live? Make sure to record the show to your DIRECTV DVR so you can rewatch the event any time you want.

What time are The GRAMMYs?

This year’s GRAMMY Awards ceremony starts at 8 p.m. ET and will take place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The show will last for about 3.5 hours and will end around 11:30 p.m. ET.

As of January 17th, the GRAMMYs are still expected to be held at Crypto.com Arena in LA, but this may change based on the unprecedented wildfires in the LA area (the Critics Choice Awards have already been postponed due to the fires).

Who is hosting the 2025 GRAMMYs?

At this time, the GRAMMY’s have yet to announce a host for the event, although GRAMMY nominated former talk show host, comedian and author Trevor Noah has hosted Music’s Biggest Night for the last four ceremonies, so he is likely a safe bet.

How Will the GRAMMYs be Different This Year?

Due to the wildfires impacting the Los Angeles area, the Recording Academy is making a few changes to the way it promotes the upcoming award show.

Typically, the weeks before the GRAMMYs consists of a multitude of parties and events thrown by the Recording Academy as well as record labels, but this year will be quite pared down.

A joint statement from the Recording Academy and MusiCares CEO Harvey Mason Jr. and Tammy Hurt, the chair of the academy’s board of trustees, stated:

“This year’s show, however, will carry a renewed sense of purpose: raising additional funds to support wildfire relief efforts and honoring the bravery and dedication of first responders who risk their lives to protect ours.”

The Recording Academy has condensed its pre-Grammy week plans to just four events, each featuring a fundraising element to assist with rebuilding and supporting first responders.

There are also a few changes to the annual GRAMMY Awards process, which have gone into immediate effect, including:

• Eligibility criteria adjustments
• Category renaming
• Submission guideline updates
