The 2026 Grammy nominations are out the morning of November 7, starting the countdown to the February 1 ceremony. A crew of former winners and nominees, including Sabrina Carpenter, Doechii, and Chappell Roan, will make the annoucements alongside Recording Academy president Harvey Mason Jr. The presentation begins at 11 a.m. ET on Grammy.com or the Grammys’ YouTube page. This year, there are two new categories to look out for: Best Album Cover and Best Traditional Country Album. The latter, added in the wake of Beyoncé’s Best Country Album win for Cowboy Carter, will honor work by traditional country artists that does not fall into the “Americana” category. Below, the full list of 2026 Grammy Award nominations, updating live.
