The Grammys Are Moving to ABC, Disney+ and Hulu for First Simulcast in 2027

The Grammy Awards are getting a new home. For the first time in over 50 years, the ceremony will air on ABC when it returns Feb. 7, 2027. Even bigger? It’ll simulcast on Disney+ and Hulu at the same time, marking the first streaming simulcast in Grammy history.

The news came during Disney’s upfront presentation in New York. The last time the Grammys aired on ABC was 1972, making this a pretty massive shift for music’s biggest night.

“This is an exciting time for us as an organization, a new home and a bold new chapter for the Grammy Awards,” said Harvey Mason jr., CEO of the Recording Academy.

The 2027 ceremony will broadcast live from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Eligibility runs from Aug. 31, 2025 through Aug. 28, 2026, with nominations dropping Nov. 16, 2026. First round voting kicks off in October, and final voting wraps Jan. 7, 2027.

For indie artists grinding toward recognition, the move to streaming could mean broader access and a younger audience. For the Grammys, it’s a bet that the future of awards shows lives beyond traditional TV.
