The 2026 Grammy Awards are preparing to unveil the nominees for next year’s ceremony.
At 11am ET, a star-studded selection of artists including Chappell Roan, Doechii, KAROL G, Lizzo, Mumford and Sons, Nicole Scherzinger, Sabrina Carpenter and Sam Smith will announce the nominations for categories including Album of the Year, Song of the Year and best New Artist.
It’s likely the top awards: Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year will see the typical crossovers, with Lady Gaga, Bad Bunny, Carpenter, Doechii and Kendrick Lamar competing for nominations in all three.
Meanwhile, 26-year-old British breakthrough singer Olivia Dean, known for her soulful hit single “Man I Need,” is widely expected to pick up a nomination for Best New Artist.
Should Puerto Rican rapper and singer Bad Bunny earn an Album of the Year nomination for Debí Tirar Más Fotos, he would again make history with only the second Spanish-language album to receive the nod. He made history in 2022 when his album Un Verano Sin Ti became the first.
To be considered for the 2026 Grammys, all submissions must have been released between August 31, 2024, and August 30, 2025.
Winners will be announced during a live ceremony on Sunday, February 1, 2026, held at Los Angeles’s Crypto.com Arena.
