The Recording Academy has revealed key dates and rule amendments for the 68th annual Grammy Awards.
The show is set for Sunday, Feb. 1, 2026, at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, with nominations set to be announced on Friday, Nov. 7.
The Academy is adding a new category, best traditional country album, and reviving an old one, best album cover.
It is also consolidating two existing categories, best recording package and best boxed or special limited edition package – into one category, best recording package.
Thus, there will be net increase of one category, to 95 – the highest total since 2010, when the Grammys had 109 categories.
The following year, there was a major streamlining to 78 categories.
The Academy also announced key dates for the 68th annual Grammy Awards season, including the show date, Sunday Feb. 1, 2026. The show will broadcast live on CBS and will stream live and on demand on Paramount+.
This will be the final Grammy telecast on CBS, the Grammys’ home since 1973.
