Yes, you can watch the Grammy Awards on Peacock, but only if you have a paid subscription

Peacock streams the Grammy Awards live and on-demand, but the broadcast is not available to free-tier users. You need either a Peacock Premium or Premium Plus subscription to watch. The Grammy Awards typically air in February, and Peacock carries the full ceremony plus pre-show coverage. The stream is available on the same day as the television broadcast on CBS.

Peacock does not always carry every Grammy-related program — some special events or behind-the-scenes shows may be exclusive to CBS or other platforms. Check the Peacock app or website a few days before the ceremony to confirm what content is available that year.

Key Takeaways

  • Peacock Premium or Premium Plus is required; the free tier does not include Grammy coverage.
  • The Grammy Awards stream live on Peacock on the same night as the CBS television broadcast, typically in February.
  • You can rewatch the full ceremony on-demand after it airs if you miss the live broadcast.
  • Some Grammy-related specials or red carpet shows may air only on CBS or other platforms, not Peacock.

What subscription level you need

Both Peacock Premium and Premium Plus include access to the Grammy Awards. Premium is the standard paid tier and costs less per month than Premium Plus. Premium Plus includes the same content as Premium but removes most ads during playback. Either subscription works for watching the Grammys — the difference is the number of commercials you see, not the content itself.

If you already subscribe to Peacock through a cable or internet provider, check whether your plan includes Premium access. Some bundled packages include Peacock Premium at no extra cost. Log into the Peacock app to see which tier you have.

How to find the Grammy Awards on Peacock

Open the Peacock app or go to peacock.com on a web browser. During Grammy week, the ceremony usually appears on the home page under a featured section or in the "Live" tab. You can also search for "Grammy Awards" in the search bar at the top of the app. The live broadcast typically begins in the evening on Grammy night, and the on-demand version becomes available shortly after the ceremony ends.

If you cannot find it in the app, the ceremony may not have aired yet or may not be available in your region. Peacock's content varies slightly by location. Check back a few days before the scheduled air date to see if a listing appears.

When the Grammy Awards airs on Peacock

The Grammy Awards ceremony airs live on Peacock at the same time it broadcasts on CBS. The ceremony typically starts in the evening — usually around 8 p.m. Eastern Time — though the exact start time varies by year. Pre-show coverage often begins an hour or two earlier.

The Grammy Awards takes place once per year, usually in February. Mark your calendar or set a reminder in the Peacock app if it offers that feature. After the live broadcast ends, the full ceremony remains available on-demand for you to watch later.

What else is available on Peacock during Grammy season

Peacock sometimes carries Grammy-related content beyond the main ceremony, such as interviews with nominees or behind-the-scenes clips. However, not all Grammy programming appears on Peacock — some specials air only on CBS, Bravo, or other networks. The Recording Academy (which runs the Grammys) controls which content goes to which platform each year.

Check the Peacock app in early February to see what Grammy content is listed. If you see a Grammy special advertised elsewhere but cannot find it on Peacock, it may be exclusive to another network that year.

Troubleshooting common streaming issues

If the Grammy Awards is not showing up in your Peacock app, first confirm you have a Premium or Premium Plus subscription — free accounts cannot access it. Refresh the app or log out and back in. If the ceremony has not aired yet, it may straightforward not be listed until closer to the air date.

If you are having trouble with buffering or playback, check your internet connection speed. Peacock recommends at least 8 Mbps for HD streaming. Restart your device, close other apps, or move closer to your Wi-Fi router. If the problem continues, contact Peacock support through the app's help menu.
