On November 7, stars like Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Doechii, and Brandi Carlile will announce the 2026 Grammy Awards nominations during a livestream starting at 8 a.m. PT / 11 a.m. ET on the Recording Academy’s YouTube channel.
In addition to hosting, several of them are expected to be among the nominees. Carpenter —a two-time Grammy winner earlier this year— is a strong contender for Record and Song of the Year with “Manchild”, as well as Album of the Year for Man’s Best Friend. Roan, who won Best New Artist in 2025, could earn nominations again with “The Subway”, while Doechii, last year’s Best Rap Album winner, may also compete with “Anxiety”.
Brandi Carlile, an 11-time Grammy winner, is likely to be recognized for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album with her collaboration with Elton John, Who Believes in Angels?. Meanwhile, Nicole Scherzinger, who won a Tony Award in June for Sunset Blvd., is expected to receive a nod for Best Musical Theater Album.
Other presenters include Angelique Kidjo, CeCe Winans, David Foster, Jon Batiste, Karol G, Little Big Town, Lizzo, Masaki Koike, Mumford & Sons, Sam Smith, Gayle King, and Dr. Chelsey Green.
The 2026 Grammy Awards will air for the final time on CBS on February 1, before moving to ABC and Disney starting with the 2027 telecast. A nominations wrap-up show will follow the livestream immediately after the announcements.
