The 2027 Grammy nominations will be unveiled on November 16 in a live presentation featuring Olivia Dean, Kehlani and Pharrell Williams. The Recording Academy has also announced a public screening in Times Square, alongside its online stream. The presentation begins at 7:45 a.m. Eastern time, with the full list expected around 9 a.m. and the awards ceremony scheduled for February 7.
The Recording Academy has put a date and a lineup of presenters to the 2027 Grammy nominations. On Monday, November 16, Olivia Dean, Kehlani and Pharrell Williams will be among the artists reading the results of the first voting round. The presentation will be available online and, for the first time, shown live at The Square in New York’s Times Square.
The stream begins at 7:45 a.m. in New York and 4:45 a.m. on the US West Coast. That is 12:45 p.m. in London and 2:45 p.m. in Athens. The full list is expected around 9 a.m. Eastern, about an hour and a quarter after the presentation begins. Viewers who want to see the announcements as they happen can watch through the Recording Academy’s official site or its YouTube channel.
The group announcing the 2027 Grammy nominations spans several kinds of work. Alongside Dean, Kehlani and Williams, the Academy has named Juanes, YUNGBLUD, David Guetta and Ziggy Marley. Carly Pearce, Herbie Hancock, Renée Fleming and Alan Menken are also on the list. Their roles bring people familiar with country, jazz, classical singing and musical theatre into the same presentation as artists associated with current pop and dance records.
Amy Allen is among the presenters with a particularly recent connection to the awards. She won the Grammy for songwriter of the year, non-classical, in each of the previous two years. The lineup also includes Linda Perry, Israel Houghton, FYÜTCH and Aura V, and Meghan Foley and Michelle Holme. For an awards process covering work behind the recordings as well as the performers on them, the variety of roles is visible in the people selected to read the names.
Olivia Dean arrives at the announcement in a year that already brought her the Best New Artist award. Kehlani won twice at the 2026 ceremony. The presenter lineup describes what those artists will be doing on November 16. The nominees themselves will be known during the presentation, which is the next scheduled public step in the Academy’s voting process.
The 2027 Grammy nominations reflect a first voting round that took place from October 12 through October 22. The eligibility window covered releases from August 31, 2025, through August 28, 2026. That interval is useful for listeners trying to understand why something issued during one part of 2026 appears in the conversation and a more recent recording may belong to another cycle. The date of the announcement and the dates of eligibility mark different stages of the same process.
For people in New York, the live screening at The Square adds a place to watch with others. Hilton is supporting the event. The screening is a way to see the same presentation available online, so the timing of the stream still governs when names will be read. The official list, expected after the presentation has begun, gives viewers a place to check categories they might have missed.
Once the 2027 Grammy nominations are public, the process will move to the final voting period. That round is scheduled from December 10, 2026, through January 7, 2027. It gives voting members a separate period to make their choices from the names announced in November. For the audience, the intervening weeks are a chance to hear eligible work that may have escaped notice before the list put it in a category.
The 69th Grammy ceremony will take place on February 7 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Its timing gives the November presentation a distinct place on the calendar. The first event identifies the people and recordings going forward, while the February ceremony is when winners are due to be announced. The November broadcast is likely to be of most immediate use to listeners looking for the names and categories as they are released.
For those following the 2027 Grammy nominations from outside the United States, the Monday start falls around lunchtime in Britain and mid-afternoon in Greece. The same presentation is an early morning event on the West Coast. The Academy’s official pages will carry the result once it is ready, including the categories whose presenters may have come and gone by the time a viewer joins.
The schedule gives audiences two times to mark on November 16: the live start and the expected publication of the full list. The first offers the sequence in which the Academy wants the nominations to be heard. The second makes it possible to go through the names at a slower pace, including the records and people a viewer might want to look up before voting moves into its final stage.
