Yes, you can watch the Grammy Awards on Paramount+ during the live broadcast

Paramount+ carries the Grammy Awards ceremony live on the night it airs. The broadcast is included with any active Paramount+ subscription — you do not need an add-on or separate purchase. You can watch on any device where you have the Paramount+ app installed or through the Paramount+ website on a web browser.

The Grammy Awards typically air in February, though the exact date changes year to year. Check the Paramount+ home page or search for "Grammy Awards" in the app a few weeks before the ceremony to see the confirmed air date and start time for the current year. The ceremony usually runs three to four hours, so plan accordingly if you want to watch from beginning to end.

  • You can watch on phones, tablets, computers, smart TVs, and streaming devices where the Paramount+ app is available.
  • The Grammy Awards air once per year in February, and Paramount+ will display the exact date and time in the app as the event approaches.
  • If you miss the live broadcast, Paramount+ typically makes the full ceremony available on-demand within hours or the next day.
  • An active internet connection is required; you cannot read the ceremony to watch offline.

What devices can stream the Grammy Awards on Paramount+

You can watch on any device with the Paramount+ app or a web browser. This includes iPhones and iPads, Android phones and tablets, Amazon Fire tablets, Roku devices, Apple TV, Google TV, Samsung Smart TVs, LG Smart TVs, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Xbox One and Series X/S. You can also watch through a web browser on a computer or laptop by visiting paramount.com and signing in.

If you own multiple devices, you can watch on one at a time with a standard Paramount+ subscription. Some households use screen mirroring or casting to send the stream from a phone or tablet to a larger TV screen. Make sure your device has the latest version of the Paramount+ app installed before the ceremony begins, as outdated versions sometimes have streaming problems during live events.

How to find the Grammy Awards broadcast in the Paramount+ app

Open the Paramount+ app and look for the Grammy Awards in the featured section on the home page. If you do not see it there, use the search function at the top of the app and type "Grammy Awards" or "Grammys." The ceremony will appear as a live event tile showing the broadcast date and start time.

Tap or click on the Grammy Awards tile to open the event page. You will see the option to watch live at the scheduled time. If the ceremony has already aired, the page will show an on-demand version you can watch anytime. Some years Paramount+ also offers pre-show coverage or behind-the-scenes content in the same section.

What to do if the Grammy Awards stream stops or buffers

If the stream freezes or buffers during the live broadcast, try closing the Paramount+ app completely and reopening it. This often clears temporary connection issues. Check that your internet connection is stable — a wired connection is more reliable than Wi-Fi for live events, especially if other people in your home are using the network at the same time.

If the problem continues, restart your device entirely. Turn it off, wait 30 seconds, and turn it back on before opening Paramount+ again. If you are watching on a smart TV or streaming device, also try unplugging it from power for 30 seconds. If the stream still does not work after these steps, try watching on a different device to see whether the problem is with your device or your internet connection.

On-demand replay and clips after the Grammy Awards air

Paramount+ usually makes the full Grammy Awards ceremony available on-demand within a few hours after the live broadcast ends, or by the next morning. You can then watch it anytime without waiting for a scheduled broadcast. Search for "Grammy Awards" in the app to find the on-demand version once it is posted.

Paramount+ may also upload individual performance clips, award announcements, or highlights separately in the days following the ceremony. These shorter clips appear in the search results and in the music or entertainment sections of the app. If you want to rewatch a specific moment, searching for the artist name or award category sometimes brings up the individual clip faster than scrolling through the full ceremony.

Subscription tiers and what is included

The Grammy Awards broadcast is included with both the ad-supported and ad-free Paramount+ subscription tiers. You do not need to upgrade or pay extra to watch the ceremony. If you have an active Paramount+ subscription of any kind, you have access to the Grammy Awards stream.

Paramount+ offers a free trial period for new subscribers, though the length varies. If you are not yet a subscriber, check the Paramount+ website to see the current trial offer. The trial gives you full access to all Paramount+ content, including the Grammy Awards, during the trial period.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I watch the Grammy Awards on Paramount+ if I do not have a subscription?

What time does the Grammy Awards broadcast start on Paramount+?

The start time varies by year but is typically in the evening on the broadcast date. Check the Paramount+ app or website a few weeks before the ceremony for the exact time. The app will show a countdown timer as the broadcast approaches.

Can I watch the Grammy Awards on Paramount+ outside the United States?

Paramount+ availability and content vary by country. If you are outside the United States, check whether Paramount+ is available in your region and whether the Grammy Awards are included in your local version of the service. Some countries may have different streaming rights for the ceremony.

Do I need a better internet speed to watch the Grammy Awards live?

Paramount+ recommends at least 5 Mbps for HD streaming and 25 Mbps for 4K streaming. Most home internet connections meet these speeds, but if your connection is slower or shared with many devices, you may experience buffering during the live broadcast. Wired connections are more stable than Wi-Fi for live events.
