Emmy Award-winning comedian Trevor Noah will return as host of the Grammy Awards for the sixth and final time on Sunday, 1 February 2026, the Recording Academy and CBS have announced.
Noah, who first hosted the ceremony in 2021 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, will also serve as an executive producer for the show, which takes place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles and airs live on CBS from 8:00 to 11:30 p.m. ET (5:00 to 8:30 p.m. PT).
Ben Winston of Fulwell Entertainment, the show's executive producer, said, “I am beyond thrilled to welcome Trevor Noah back to host the Grammys for his sixth, and sadly, final time. He's been the most phenomenal host of the show. He's so smart, so funny, and such a true fan of the artists and music. His impact on the show has been truly spectacular, and we can't wait to do it together one last time.”
The ceremony will air on CBS for the final time; a ten-year deal with Disney, announced in 2024, begins next year. The show will also be available to stream live and on-demand on Paramount+.
