How to Live Stream the Grammys on February 2 (with or Without Cable)

The 2025 Grammy Awards will be exclusively broadcast on CBS. The ceremony will also be available on Paramount+, but there’s a small catch. Only subscribers with Paramount+ with Showtime will be able to stream the awards show live. Those with the Paramount+ Essential plan will be able to watch the Grammy Awards the day after the ceremony.

If you don’t have cable, you’ll need to access the Grammys live stream by signing up for a subscription service. Streaming options include: fuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV and Sling TV. Not only do they each offer a free trial (don’t forget to cancel before it expires!), but they also give you access to all the primetime networks, including live TV.

Interested in trying a streaming service? All you need to do is select the “Free Trial” option when choosing a subscription plan during the registration process. Be sure to make note of the fine print if you plan on cancelling before it ends.

CBS doesn’t have exclusivity over red carpet coverage—in fact, the network doesn’t have any pre-show on its schedule. The good news is that other networks can do their own broadcasts. For example, E! Countdown to the Red Carpet will begin at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT, followed by E! Live from the Red Carpet at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT.

As I previously mentioned, Trevor Noah will host the 2025 Grammy Awards for his fifth consecutive year. He’s also nominated for Best Comedy Album for his Netflix special, Where Was I. 

Beyoncé leads the nominations with 11 nods, making her the most nominated artist in Grammys history with a career total of 99 nominations. There’s a four-way tie for the second-most nominations (seven) between Post Malone, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar and Charli XCX. They’re followed by Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan, who each have six nominations.

The Recording Academy previously announced that Benson Boone, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, Charli xcx, Doechii, Raye, Sabrina Carpenter, Shakira and Teddy Swims will perform at the 2025 Grammy Awards.

The Academy most recently added several names to the list of performers, including Stevie Wonder, Cynthia Erivo, Chris Martin, Lainey Wilson, Herbie Hancock, Brittany Howard, Brad Paisley, Janelle Monáe, John Legend, Sheryl Crow, St. Vincent and Jacob Collier.

If that sounds like a night you don’t want to miss, be sure to get your streaming services in order before the show airs on February 2.
