Set the alarm
Nominations for the 69th Grammy Awards are scheduled to be announced on Monday, November 16, beginning at 7:45 a.m. Eastern and 4:45 a.m. Pacific. The Recording Academy published the viewing details on October 16.
Where to watch
The announcement will stream on Grammy.com and the official Grammys YouTube channel. The Academy says the complete nominations list will be posted on its website afterward, so following the livestream is not the only way to get the results.
What will be announced
The presentation will identify nominees across 100 categories for the 2027 awards. A nomination is the next stage in the process; it does not name a winner. The Academy’s voting guide says the first round ran October 12–22, making the nominations announcement the next public milestone after that phase closed. The final round is scheduled for December 10 through January 7. The ceremony itself is set for February 7, 2027. Those separate dates explain why a shortlist arrives weeks before the winners are decided and why an early voting headline should not be mistaken for an awards result.
Keep predictions in their place
Until the Academy releases the list, anticipated nominations remain forecasts. For readers following a favorite artist, the practical move is to save the official viewing page and check the published list when it appears, rather than treat an awards prediction as a result. A useful results check will keep the category beside the artist’s name. Recognition for a recording, a composition and a performer can mean different things, even when the same song appears in several conversations.
