2021 Grammys: at a glance

CBS is the official broadcaster for the 63rd Annual Grammy awards, taking place on March 14 at 8pm ET and 5pm PST. That's 7pm CT. Around the globe, you'll need to tune into a 2021 Grammys live stream at 1am GMT in the UK, 2am CET, and 12pm AEDT on Monday in Australia.

This year Trevor Noah is taking the reins as the host of the 63rd Grammy Awards for the first time, challenged with keeping up the merriment as the Grammys largely goes virtual in the light of the ongoing pandemic.

Yep, much like the Golden Globes, there won't be much of a live audience - bar journalists - and nominees will tune in via video call for awkward clapping when their fellow nominee wins and delivering those acceptance speeches.

With performances from the likes of Harry Styles, Dua Lipa, BTS, Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, and many more, it's sure to be quite the show, pulling out all the stops to make it as memorable as previous years. And, luckily for you, you can even live stream The Grammys absolutely free in some territories.
