Grammys 2020: Where to watch and stream music's biggest awards show?
Awards season is in full swing! Following a Golden Globes full of red carpet moments and celebrity political commentary, it's time to turn our attention to the Grammys 2020 ceremony, which will celebrate some of the year's best music, from Lizzo and Billie Eilish's breakout moments to Ariana Grande and Beyoncé's continued success.
The nominees' list was announced back in November 2019, just before many of those same celebrities attended the American Music Awards, and on 27th January 2020 (9 AM, Malaysia time), the world will finally see who takes home the golden gramophones for Best New Artist, Album of the Year, and more.
In this digital-savvy age, we've compiled some online options on how you can catch your favourite artist's big win and start jamming out to the Grammys 2020 performances.
Read on to learn five ways to watch the Grammys 2020.
Your first option is CBS, which is the host network as usual for the Grammys 2020. If you have access to a TV (or are planning a watch party with a friend who does), you're all set—just flip to the channel when it's time for the show.
CBS also offers a streaming service, CBS All Access, where you can catch the show on any device. Full disclosure, though, that you can't log in with a TV provider password like you can on some other networks: the service costs $5.99 per month, but there is a weeklong free trial.
CBS All Access does have on-demand content in addition to live-streaming, so if you opt to use the trial, it's definitely worth checking out.
One of the most popular places to enjoy music-focused content, YouTube will offer a Grammys 2020 stream through its YouTube TV service. You've probably got notifications to try this feature out.
So if your answer has repeatedly been "not now," good news: though the service costs $40 per month, a five-day free trial awaits. Your night will be as fun as a major star's music video premiere as you alternate between enjoying the show and reading the comments section.
Many of us are already Hulu fans—with original shows like The Handmaid's Tale, The Act, and Looking for Alaska among plenty of other content, how could we not be?
And while most probably have one of the lower-end plans, Hulu offers a Live TV service that you can use to stream the Grammys 2020. It's $40 a month, but you get a seven-day free trial to decide if you like the service.
Formerly called DirecTV Now, AT&T TV Now offers packages with channel options including HBO, MTV, and Hallmark. The Grammys stream here every year, so you'll be sure not to miss any of the performances and awards, no matter what screen you use.
A seven-day free trial is available here as well, so if you try this service (which is $40 a month if you commit), we recommend using your time wisely by exploring the full range of offerings during your post-ceremony burst of energy.
While we cannot guarantee success here, Twitter is home to a lot of music stan communities. Sometimes, if any of their favorites are performing, presenting, or nominated on the show, someone will stream it so fans worldwide can easily watch.
Last year, fans of a certain K-Pop group we love posted a stream, and to figure out who might help the general public for the Grammys 2020, just peek through the nominations, pay attention to presenter and performer announcements, and think about who has the most active fanbases.
This isn't always the easiest or safest way to watch—streams can be laggy, and they often get taken down—so you might have a smoother experience using one of the other services, but if you're not prepped to pay or do a free trial, Twitter might help you to see the Grammys 2020.
Also, the Recording Academy and CBS will be airing red carpet content via the social media platform, so you can see all the best looks as well as what the stars have to say about the big night.
