The Grammy 2027 Premiere Ceremony will stream live exclusively on Disney+ for the first time, bringing the event where most Grammy winners are announced to the streaming platform. The Recording Academy confirmed the move on November 13, 2026, setting the ceremony for February 7, 2027, at 2:30 p.m. ET from Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater. Fulwell Entertainment will produce the event before the main Grammy Awards telecast airs later that evening on ABC, Disney+ and Hulu.
The Grammy 2027 ceremony schedule is expanding its presence on Disney+, with the Recording Academy confirming that the Premiere Ceremony will have an exclusive live streaming home for the first time. The announcement changes how audiences can follow the event that presents the majority of Grammy Awards before the main television broadcast begins.
The Premiere Ceremony is scheduled for Sunday, February 7, 2027, at 2:30 p.m. ET, or 11:30 a.m. PT, at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. It will take place several hours before the televised awards show at the nearby Crypto.com Arena.
Although the main telecast receives the most widespread attention, the Premiere Ceremony is responsible for presenting most of the awards. The event allows artists, producers, songwriters, engineers and other music professionals to receive recognition across a wide range of genres and specialties.
The 2027 Grammys will include 100 categories, with approximately 90 expected to be presented during the earlier ceremony. The precise number depends on the final awards-show schedule, which determines which presentations are reserved for the television broadcast.
This arrangement means that most winners will have already received their Grammy trophies by the time the main telecast begins. The earlier ceremony is therefore a central part of the awards rather than a simple introduction to the evening’s entertainment.
In recent years, the Premiere Ceremony has been available through a livestream on the official Grammys website. Its move to Disney+ establishes a different distribution arrangement for viewers who want to follow the presentations outside the main television program.
The Recording Academy confirmed that the 2027 edition will stream exclusively on the platform. It is the latest development in the organization’s broader television partnership with Disney, following the previously announced move of the main Grammy telecast to ABC, Disney+ and Hulu.
That distinction is important. The Premiere Ceremony will be a Disney+ exclusive, while the main awards show will be available through ABC and the two streaming services in markets where the applicable rights and services are offered.
The main telecast will begin at 7 p.m. ET, or 4 p.m. PT, on February 7. Viewers will be able to follow selected awards, musical performances and other elements of the televised production from Crypto.com Arena.
The move also marks a change from the Grammys’ long-running relationship with CBS. The network carried the event annually from 1973 through 2026, making the 2027 broadcast the first regular Grammy telecast on ABC in more than five decades.
While that television transition was announced earlier in 2026, the November 13 development focuses specifically on the earlier ceremony. It confirms that Disney+ will also become the exclusive streaming destination for the event where the majority of categories are presented.
Another significant change involves production. Fulwell Entertainment will produce the Premiere Ceremony for the first time, bringing the company responsible for the main televised awards into the earlier event.
Fulwell has produced the Grammys telecast every year since 2021. The 2027 edition will mark its seventh consecutive main ceremony, with the company now overseeing both productions on the same day.
Ben Winston, Eric Pankowski and Greg V. Fera will serve as executive producers of the Premiere Ceremony. Branden Chapman, Chantel Sausedo, Rex Supa and Ruby Marchand will serve as producers representing the Recording Academy.
For the main telecast, Winston will work alongside executive producers Raj Kapoor and Jesse Collins. The production arrangements give Fulwell a broader role in the organization’s awards presentation while preserving the distinction between the two ceremonies.
Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. welcomed the decision, emphasizing the importance of the Premiere Ceremony as a celebration of music creators. He said the new streaming arrangement would allow a wider audience to participate in that part of Grammy Sunday.
His comments also highlighted the Recording Academy’s existing relationship with Fulwell. The organization is bringing a production company familiar with the televised Grammys into a ceremony that previously relied on an internally managed production.
A separate event will take place before February’s awards presentations. On Monday, November 16, 2026, the Recording Academy will reveal the nominees during a special livestream beginning at 7:45 a.m. ET.
The nominations presentation will be available through Grammy.com and the official Grammys YouTube channel. For the first time, the livestream will cover nominees across all 100 award categories rather than highlighting only a smaller selection during the announcement.
This nominations event should not be confused with the Premiere Ceremony. The November presentation reveals who is competing for awards, while the February ceremony announces winners and presents the majority of trophies.
International viewing arrangements also require some clarification. The Recording Academy has announced Disney+ as the exclusive streaming destination for the Premiere Ceremony, but it has not provided a detailed country-by-country availability schedule for every international market.
Viewers outside the United States should therefore consult their local Disney+ service before assuming that the livestream will be accessible in their region. The announced broadcast time does not, by itself, confirm availability in every country.
With the Premiere Ceremony moving to Disney+, the Grammy Awards are placing greater streaming emphasis on the categories that receive less attention during the main television show. The February 7 event will provide the first major awards presentations of the day before the evening’s main broadcast begins.
