Big Changes Coming to the 2026 Grammy Awards!

When the 68th annual Grammy Awards air on February 1, 2026, live from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, country music will be getting even more love!

The Recording Academy has announced a major update:

  • The Best Country Album category will now be split into two:

    • Best Contemporary Country Album

    • Best Traditional Country Album
      Giving artists from both sides of the country spectrum a better shot at Grammy gold.

 Plus, for the first time ever, the all-genre categories will include a Best Album Cover award — a big win for visual artists and designers!

Nominations drop November 7, and you can catch the full show on CBS and stream it on Paramount+.
