The 2027 Grammy nominees will be announced on Monday, November 16, 2026, starting at 9:45 a.m. Brasília time. The Recording Academy has confirmed a livestream on Grammy.com and the official Grammys YouTube channel. This is the nominations announcement for the 69th Grammy Awards, not the awards ceremony itself.
What time will the 2027 Grammy nominations be announced in Brazil?
The official announcement sets the livestream start at 4:45 a.m. Pacific Time (PT) and 7:45 a.m. Eastern Time (ET). On November 16, both U.S. time zones will be on standard time, making the start time 9:45 a.m. in Brasília.
| Location or reference | Time on November 16, 2026 |
|---|---|
| Brasília (BRT, UTC-3) | 9:45 a.m. |
| U.S. East Coast (EST, UTC-5) | 7:45 a.m. |
| U.S. West Coast (PST, UTC-8) | 4:45 a.m. |
These times mark the start of the livestream. In the guide checked on October 18, 2026, the Academy had not specified the exact minute when each category would be revealed. The schedule may be updated before the event.
Where can viewers watch the nominations live?
Two official destinations have been announced for the livestream:
- Grammy.com, the Recording Academy website;
- the official Grammys YouTube channel.
After the nominations are revealed, the Academy also plans a commentary program, the Grammy Nominations Wrap-Up Show, on Grammy.com and its official social media accounts. That program follows the announcement and should not be confused with the 9:45 a.m. Brasília-time start of the nominations presentation.
When will the full nominee list be available?
According to Recording Academy guidance published on October 16, the complete nominee list will be posted on Grammy.com immediately after the announcement. The 2027 ceremony has 100 categories. The Academy said previous Grammy winners and nominees will help reveal the names, although it had not named all the presenters as of the date checked.
Until the official announcement, media predictions and fan picks are not the actual nominees. The Academy members' first voting round runs from October 12 through October 22, 2026; the names will become public through the November announcement.
The nominations announcement is not the 2027 Grammy ceremony
The nominees will be revealed on November 16, 2026, while the awards ceremony is scheduled for February 7, 2027, at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The Academy announced ABC, Disney+ and Hulu as ceremony broadcasters, but that information concerns the February event and does not, on its own, establish viewing availability in Brazil. For the November nominations announcement, the confirmed destinations are Grammy.com and YouTube.
