Fans from around the world are getting ready to celebrate the biggest names in music. But with all the changes to the event in recent months, some may be wondering when and how to watch the 64th Annual Grammy Awards. Here’s a breakdown of the details, including where to stream and who’s performing.Â
When are the 2022 Grammys?Â
The 64th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony will be broadcast on Sunday, April 3, 2022, at 8:00 p.m. EST. The event was originally scheduled for Jan. 31, 2022. But due to the rise in coronavirus cases around the country, the Recording Academy postponed the show.Â
“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,” the Recording Academy said in a statement. “Given the uncertainty surrounding the Omicron variant, holding the show on January 31st simply contains too many risks.”
In late January, the Recording Academy announced the new April 3 date. And they revealed that the event’s venue was changed from LA’s Crypto.com Arena to the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.Â

“I think the live element does bring in an energy but then you do sacrifice a little bit of that intimacy,” The Daily Show host told the Associated Press. “But it’s nice to have fans cheering for their favorite artist. It’s nice to see the performances because one of the biggest reasons the Grammys is my favorite award show is that it is a live music festival.”
