How to watch the Grammy Awards 2022: time, channel, where the ceremony takes place

Grammy Awards day is finally upon us, having previously been postponed due to concerns about the coronavirus pandemic.

Now, music A-listers will head to Las Vegas for the 64th Grammy Awards, with the likes of Jon Batiste, Justin Bieber and Doja Cat leading the nominations.
Olivia Rodrigo is also one of the hottest names on the list this year, having been nominated in all four of the main categorires.
The 64th Grammy Awards, which will see the biggest names in the industry vying for music’s most iconic trophies, will go ahead on a future date to be announced soon.
She's up for Best Album, Best New Artist, Record of the Year and Song of the Year, facing competition from Lil Nas X and Billie Eilish in all of those categories except Best New Artist.
So if you're looking to find out how to watch the Grammys, when and on what channel, we've got everything you need to know.
Read on for your guide to this year’s big night of music and how you can watch the show in the UK.
How to watch the Grammys in the UK
The Grammy Awards 2022 will be broadcast live on CBS in the US, with the ceremony starting at 5pm PT/8pm ET tonight, 1am Monday morning UK time.
No UK channels have plans to show the ceremony, or even the highlights, as of yet, so how viewers can watch from the UK remains TBC.
The ceremony will be livestreamed on Grammy.com and the Recording Academy’s YouTube channel.
In previous years, 4Music has broadcast highlights from the Grammys a day or two after it has aired in the US, but the broadcaster failed to include the 2021 Grammys in its schedule – and is yet to announce plans to air the show in 2022.

When are the Grammy Awards 2022?
The date of this year's Grammy Awards was previously postponed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, having originally been set for 31st January 2022.
But the ceremony has a new date and is going ahead today, 3rd April 2022, with the stars of the music world descending on Las Vegas for the event.
The Awards start at 5pm PT/8pm ET tonight, which is 1am Monday morning for those in the UK.
Back in January, when the Grammys were postponed, the organisers issued a statement saying: “The health and safety of those in our music community, the live audience and the hundreds of people who work tirelessly to produce our show remains our top priority.
“Given the uncertainty surrounding the Omicron variant, holding the show on January 31st simply contains too many risks. We look forward to celebrating music’s biggest night on a future date, which will be announced soon.”
Where are the Grammy Awards 2022 taking place?
After two years of interruptions to award shows, the Grammys are being held at the MGM Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Who is hosting the Grammy Awards 2022?
Trevor Noah, the host of The Daily Show, is hosting the Grammy Awards for the second year in a row.
Speaking about his role as emcee for the night, Noah told Gayle King on CBS: "Why would I not want to do the Grammys? First of all, it's a front row ticket to the best music concert of all time.
"I don't care who you are, you love music."
Why has Drake withdrawn his nominations for the Grammy Awards 2022?
Drake has asked the Recording Academy to withdraw his two nominations for the 2022 Grammy Awards.
The Canadian star, a previous four-time Grammy winner, had been up for Best Rap Album for his sixth studio record Certified Lover Boy as well as Best Rap Performance for single Way 2 Sexy. He was not nominated in any of the top categories.
According to Variety, Drake and his management made this decision, but his motivation behind the move remains unknown.
Last year, Drake criticised the Grammys when fellow Canadian star The Weeknd did not receive any nominations, despite his huge success that year.
