The Recording Academy and CBS have announced that Emmy Award-winning comedian Trevor Noah will return as host of the Grammy Awards one “final” time on Sunday, Feb. 1.

This will be Noah’s sixth time as host of the Grammy Awards and he will also serve as an executive producer of the show, which takes place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles and airs live on CBS 8–11:30 p.m. ET/5–8:30 p.m. PT. Noah’s first year hosting the show was in 2021, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The show’s executive producer, Ben Winston of Fulwell Entertainment, says, “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 show will air one last time on the CBS Television Network and will be available to stream live and on-demand on Paramount+ (live and on demand for Paramount+ Premium subscribers, or on demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the special airs). The show has aired on CBS every year since 1973; the Grammys’ 10-year deal with Disney, announced in 2024, begins next year.

Kendrick Lamar leads the list of 2026 Grammy nominees with nine nods, followed by Lady Gaga and producers Jack Antonoff and Cirkut with seven; Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter, Leon Thomas, and engineer Serban Ghenea with six; and Clipse, Doechii, SZA, Turnstile, and Tyler, the Creator and producers Souwave and Andrew Watt with five.

Performers and presenters are expected to be announced in the coming days.

The 2026 Grammy Awards will be produced by Fulwell Entertainment for the Recording Academy. Ben Winston, Raj Kapoor, Jesse Collins, and Trevor Noah are executive producers.
