Welcome to the biggest, most prestigious night in music: the 2026 Grammy Awards, of course, which are being held in Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena this year. The show itself kicks off at 5 p.m. PST/8 p.m. EST, with the red carpet portion of the proceedings (we’re biased, but we think it’s the best part) starting exactly two hours before.

Trevor Noah is hosting the show for the last time, having held this role since 2021. Also something to anticipate is a brand-new award: Best Traditional Country Album, for which there are five nominees in the running. Sabrina Carpenter, Lady Gaga, and Bruno Mars are returning to the big stage, joined by the likes of Justin Bieber (this will be his first Grammys appearance in four years) and Pharrell Williams. Helping Noah with his duties, presenters from Charli XCX and Harry Styles — who revealed his 2026 world tour last week — to Nikki Glaser and Teyana Taylor are also confirmed for the evening.

If the 2025 Grammy Awards’ headline-generating red carpet looks are any indication, audiences are in for a treat even before the A-listers take their seats at the Crypto.com Arena. Last year, for instance, Carpenter’s feather-clad, powder-blue JW Anderson dress was one of the winning ensembles, alongside Gracie Abrams’ sheer, cape-equipped Chanel number; Taylor Swift’s Vivienne Westwood minidress, complete with a jeweled, rosary-like thigh accessory; and more unforgettable stylings.

How to Watch the 2026 Grammy Awards Red Carpet Online Without Cable

Want to be one of the first to identify the red carpet fashion trends taking over the 2026 Grammys? Though coverage will air on E!, as part of the channel’s “Live From E!” programming, you don’t need cable in order to enjoy it all live.

Our editors recommend turning to DirecTV to stream the Grammy Awards red carpet in real time, but you can also do so via Hulu + Live TV. Below, we detail the benefits of each streaming platform, including trials that will allow you to sneak a peek at your favorite musicians — for free.

EDITOR’s CHOICE

DirecTV

Access to E! is available across multiple DirecTV Signature packages, like Entertainment, Choice, Ultimate, and Premier. All subscriptions come with a five-day free trial for watching the Grammy Awards red carpet live online, after which plans start at $89.99/mo. After the shiny trophies have been handed over and the celebrities have all gone home, keep your DirecTV membership running to savor even more content: from “The Real Housewives” to “The Masked Singer.”

Hulu + Live TV

Hulu + Live TV is another streaming destination that treats customers to front-row views of pop culture’s most memorable moments — red carpet appearances in front of a step and repeat included. And though its free trial is only three days long, it will still give you more than enough time to sit back and enjoy the Grammys, no trip to LA required. A Hulu + Live TV subscription lets you watch the popular Disney+, not to mention over 95 live channels from E! to CBS, ABC, and ESPN. After your trial ends, committing to the service will cost $89.99/mo.
