For performances, expect to see music stars grace the stage including Stevie Wonder, Shakira, John Legend, Teddy Swims, Sabrina Carpenter, Chris Martin (Coldplay), Billie Eilish, Doechii, and Janelle Monáe.
Here is the full list of the Grammy Awards 2025 nominations. The event will be broadcast on Sunday, Feb. 2, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT with Emmy-winning comedian and former Daily Show host Trevor Noah back as host for the fifth time.
Here's how to watch the 2025 Grammys Without Cable
1. Paramount Plus
Paramount+ offers two main subscription tiers, and your Grammy-viewing experience depends on which one you have:
- Paramount+ with Showtime: Subscribers to this plan can stream the awards ceremony live as it airs on CBS. Think of it as watching through your local CBS affiliate, but streamed directly through Paramount+. This plan also boasts ad-free viewing (with limited exceptions), access to Showtime content, and the ability to download shows for offline viewing.
- Paramount+ Essential: While this plan is more budget-friendly, it doesn't offer live access to the Grammys. Subscribers will have to wait until the day after the event to watch it on demand. So, if you want to be part of the live conversation, you'll need the Paramount+ with Showtime plan.
2. Hulu Plus Live TV
This live TV streaming service combines the on-demand library of Hulu with live television channels, including your local CBS affiliate (in most areas). Since the Grammys air on CBS, this makes Hulu + Live TV a viable option for watching the ceremony live. You'll need an active Hulu + Live TV subscription to access the live broadcast.
3. Fubo
Fubo is a streaming service that focuses heavily on live sports, but it also includes a wide range of entertainment channels, crucially, often including CBS, the network that traditionally broadcasts the Grammy Awards. But before you subscribe, you need to confirm that your local CBS affiliate is available on Fubo in your area. That's because channel lineups vary by location. You can usually check this information directly on the Fubo website by entering your zip code.
4. YouTube TV
From live sports and news to on-demand shows and movies, YouTube TV offers a comprehensive alternative to traditional cable. And yes, YouTube TV carries CBS, the network that broadcasts the Grammy Awards. But you need to check that your local CBS affiliate is available on YouTube TV, so you would be able to watch the ceremony live. You can the 21-day free trial offer right now which might be perfect for catching the Grammys and exploring the service.
Conclusion
So, there you have it! Even without a cable subscription, you've got plenty of options to catch all the excitement, glamour, and incredible performances of the 2025 Grammy Awards.
Whether you're streaming through a live TV service, catching it on Paramount+, or even just keeping up with the buzz on social media, you won't have to miss a single moment of music's biggest night.
