NEW YORK (Nov. 11) — Nominees for the 69th Grammy Awards will be announced Monday, Nov. 16, in a live presentation from Times Square that begins at 7:45 a.m. ET, the Recording Academy said. The full list of nominees will be posted on Grammy.com at about 9 a.m. ET.

Olivia Dean, who won best new artist at this year's ceremony, will help read the nominations alongside Kehlani, Pharrell Williams, Herbie Hancock, Carly Pearce, David Guetta, Juanes, YUNGBLUD, Ziggy Marley, Alan Menken, Amy Allen, Linda Perry, Renée Fleming and Israel Houghton, the academy said. Grammy-winning father-daughter duo FYÜTCH & Aura V and recording package winners Meghan Foley and Michelle Holme are also on the list, which was released Friday, ABC News reported.

Grammys CEO Harvey Mason jr. and Dr. Chelsey Green, chair of the academy's board of trustees, will lead the presentation. It will stream on Grammy.com and the Grammys YouTube channel, with live coverage on ABC's "Good Morning America." This is the first year the announcement will be broadcast live from The Square in Times Square, the academy said.

Nominees will be named in 100 categories, including five that are new this year: best Asian pop music performance, best R&B collaboration or duo/group performance, best traditional pop vocal performance, best traditional folk album and best Latin song. The Asian pop award covers K-pop, J-pop and C-pop recordings that make meaningful use of one or more Asian languages, according to ABC News.

Music released between Aug. 31, 2025, and Aug. 28, 2026, is eligible. The academy describes the Grammys as "music's only peer-recognized accolade," with nominees and winners chosen by its nearly 16,000 voting members. Final-round voting runs Dec. 10 through Jan. 7.

The ceremony will air live from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles at 7 p.m. ET on Sunday, Feb. 7, 2027, and stream on Disney+ and Hulu, the academy announced in May. It is the first year the show will be simulcast exclusively on ABC, Disney+ and Hulu.
