Trevor Noah will return to host the 2026 Grammy Awards for a sixth and final time as CBS prepares to hand off the show

Trevor Noah is officially returning to the Grammy Awards stage for what has been billed as his “final” turn as host.

The Recording Academy and CBS confirmed that the Emmy Award-winning comedian will host the 2026 Grammy Awards on Sunday, February 1, marking his sixth consecutive appearance as master of ceremonies.

In addition to hosting, Noah will once again serve as an executive producer of the broadcast. The ceremony will take place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles and air live on CBS from 8:00 to 11:30 p.m. ET. The show will also be available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+, with access varying by subscription tier.

Noah first took on hosting duties in 2021, a year defined by the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, he has become a consistent and well-received presence at music’s biggest night, praised for balancing humor with respect for artists and the industry. Executive producer Ben Winston of Fulwell Entertainment called Noah “the most phenomenal host of the show,” highlighting his intelligence, comedic timing, and genuine appreciation for music.

The 2026 ceremony will also mark the final year the Grammys air on CBS, which has broadcast the awards since 1973. Beginning next year, the show will move to Disney platforms under a new 10-year deal announced in 2024.

This year’s Grammy Awards arrive with strong anticipation, as Kendrick Lamar leads the nominations with nine nods. Lady Gaga, Jack Antonoff, and Cirkut follow with seven nominations each, while Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter, and several other major names trail close behind.

Details about performers and presenters are expected to be announced in the days leading up to the ceremony, adding to the excitement surrounding Noah’s final Grammy hosting appearance.
