The Grammys Moving from CBS to Disney

The Walt Disney Company has signed a ten-year global deal for The Grammys to be exclusively simulcast on ABC, Hulu and Disney+ starting in 2027, marking for the first broadcast change for the music awards in more than 50 years.

The Recording Academy and Disney have entered into an agreement that solidifies the company as the destination for The Grammys through 2036.

As part of the deal, The Recording Academy will also produce multiple Grammy-branded music specials and additional new programming for audiences around the world across Disney’s platforms.

The Grammys aired on CBS for 54 years prior to this deal.

“As The Walt Disney Company combines forces with The Recording Academy to open this exciting new chapter in the history of The Grammys, we do so with pride and gratitude,” said Disney Entertainment Co-Chairman Dana Walden. “Live events have never been more important to our culture and industry, and we just acquired one of the crown jewels, adding to our portfolio of world-class programming across all genres.”

“We are completely thrilled to be bringing The Grammys and other new music programming to the Disney ecosystem,” said The Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. “We are grateful to our long-standing partners at CBS and now honored to be joining with Disney, an iconic company where creators have always been at the forefront. This partnership represents another important milestone in the Academy’s transformation and growth and strengthens our ability to fulfill our mission of uplifting and serving music people around the world.”
