Trevor Noah will return for the sixth – and final – time as host of the 2026 Grammy Awards, taking place on Sunday, February 1st from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
Noah, who will also serve as an executive producer, has hosted the Grammys since 2020. The comedian, 41, is set to return to the 68th Grammys ceremony this for “one final time” as emcee, according to a press release. Executive producer Ben Winston said in a statement: “I am beyond thrilled to welcome Trevor Noah back to host the Grammys for his sixth, and sadly, final time. He’s been the most phenomenal host of the show. He’s so smart, so funny, and such a true fan of the artists and music. His impact on the show has been truly spectacular, and we can’t wait to do it together one last time.”
Among this year’s top nominees in the major categories are Kendrick Lamar, who leads the nominations with nine, followed by Cirkut, Jack Antonoff, and Lady Gaga with seven apiece. Bad Bunny, Leon Thomas, Sabrina Carpenter, and Serban Ghenea each have six nods, and Andrew Watt, Clipse, Doechii, Sounwave, SZA, Turnstile, and Tyler, The Creator with five.
This year will also mark the last time the Grammy Awards ceremony will air on CBS, after a decades-long partnership. The ceremony is moving over to ABC and Disney+ next year, through 2036.
The 2026 Grammy Awards will be broadcast live on the CBS Television Network on Sunday, February 1st, and will be available to stream live and on-demand on Paramount+.
