This Sunday, February 1st, 2026, the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles will host a lineup of music legends for the 68th Grammy Awards ceremony. But what time does it start, and how can you watch it from France? We’ve got all the details!

Lady Gaga, Tyler, The Creator, Rosé from Blackpink, Sabrina Carpenter, along with Lola Young and Justin Bieber, are scheduled to perform this weekend at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. This iconic American concert venue will host the 68th annual Grammy Awards ceremony on Sunday, February 1, 2026.

However, several names are already tipped as top contenders, including Lady Gaga and Bad Bunny, who is also scheduled to perform at halftime during the Super Bowl just a week later. The 68th Grammy Awards will also feature a series of outstanding performances and tributes, honoring icons like Ozzy Osbourne and D'Angelo.
