Taylor Swift and Beyoncé will face off in top categories, and artists like Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan will celebrate their first nominations ever (six each!).
It's sure to be a talent-filled evening packed with epic performances and tributes, and of course, winners and losers. Here's everything you need to know to tune into the awards ceremony live.
When are the Grammys?
The 2025 Grammys will take place Sunday, Feb. 2, at 8 p.m. ET. So long as the acceptance speeches don't run over, the ceremony is expected to last about three-and-a-half hours, concluding around 11:30 p.m. ET.
What channel are the Grammys on?
Since 1973, CBS has been the home of the Grammy Awards. Now in its 67th year, this marks 52 years of the Grammys on CBS. Of course, now that we're in the age of streaming, CBS's streaming sibling Paramount+ will also simulcast the awards show via its Paramount+ with Showtime tier only. The Paramount+ Essential plan will only get you access to the on-demand broadcast the next day after the awards air.
How to watch the Grammys live without cable
For those who no longer have cable or access to their local CBS network, you'll have a few different options for tuning in live (and maybe even for free). The easiest and most affordable way is to sign up for a Paramount+ with Showtime free trial. However, the trial is only for brand-new subscribers. If you don't qualify for the trial of Paramount+, you can also opt for a live TV streaming service like YouTube TV or Fubo and score a free trial offer. Here's a breakdown of the best options and the best deals:
Watch on Paramount+
As mentioned above, Paramount+ offers a seven-day trial for new subscribers, which will allow you to catch the Grammy Awards for free. If you're not eligible for the trial, you'll have to sign up for a Paramount+ with Showtime subscription to watch live. The Paramount+ Essential subscription will only give you access to the broadcast the day after the ceremony on-demand. Fortunately, you can still save money on either tier by opting for an annual plan rather than a monthly plan.

A subscription costs $12.99 per month, but you can save some money by opting for the annual subscription for $119.99. That drops the monthly cost down to just $10 per month. You'll have to pay upfront, but ultimately, you'll save about 23% overall.

Watch on YouTube TV
While it's a lot more expensive than Paramount+, YouTube will also give you live access to local channels, including CBS, so you can catch the Grammys as they're happening. Not to mention, you'll get a free trial if you've never signed up previously. That means you could potentially watch the Grammy Awards for free on CBS through YouTube TV. Trials are typically a week long, so be sure to check your status and cancel your subscription before the week ends or you'll be hit with a $69.99 blow to your bank account.
