Nominations day for the 2026 Grammy Awards<\/a> is here. As the Recording Academy<\/a> reveals its picks in a livestreamed announcement video\u2014watch that below\u2014we will update this story the moment each category rolls in. Scroll down for the latest iteration of the list as we approach the Big Four: Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best New Artist.<\/p>\n It looks to be an open field for the 2026 awards, with Recording Academy sweethearts Taylor Swift, Beyonc\u00e9, and Adele all absent during the eligibility window. That clears a path for the likes of Lady Gaga<\/a>, Bad Bunny<\/a>, and Kendrick Lamar<\/a>, a big winner at the 2025 Grammy Awards<\/a> with \u201cNot Like Us<\/a>,\u201d who will be looking to repeat the score with GNX<\/em><\/a>. Also in contention after big years are Sabrina Carpenter<\/a>, Lorde<\/a>, Addison Rae<\/a>, Clipse<\/a>, Doechii<\/a>, SZA<\/a>, and Turnstile<\/a>, while two-time<\/a> Best Rap Album winner<\/a> Tyler, the Creator<\/a> has a pair of eligible albums: Don\u2019t Tap the Glass<\/em><\/a> and Chromakopia<\/em><\/a>. The ever-lurking Jack Antonoff<\/a> is also in the mix, with notable productions including work for Carpenter and Lamar.<\/p>\n One 2025 giant we should not expect to see is Morgan Wallen, who withheld<\/a> his album I\u2019m the Problem<\/em><\/a> and its singles from consideration. The Weeknd, meanwhile, appeared to end his Grammys boycott with a surprise appearance<\/a> of \u201cCry for Me\u201d last year, but it is unclear whether he submitted the track or its parent album, Hurry Up Tomorrow<\/em><\/a>, this year.<\/p>\n The 2026 Grammy Awards features the new category Best Album Cover and a newly divided Best Country Album. That one is now split into Best Contemporary Country Album and Best Traditional Country Album. The ceremony takes place on Sunday, February 1, 2026, at Los Angeles\u2019 Crypto.com Arena. It will broadcast live on the CBS Television Network and stream on Paramount+.<\/p>\n While you wait for the full list, read Pitchfork staffers\u2019 takes on \u201cWho Should Be Nominated at the 2026 Grammy Awards<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
