How to watch The Grammys online: stream the award show celebrating the biggest night in music from anywhere in the world

As an upshot of the COVID-19 pandemic, this year's Grammys is posed to be more intimate than previous broadcasts of the early aughts and twenty-tens. 

Hosted by "The Daily Show" host Trevor Noah, the quarantine-friendly event will be televised on Sunday, Mar. 14, at 8 p.m. ET, 5 p.m. PT, and 1:00 a.m. UK/GMT. The logistics, not surprisingly, will make The Grammys look a bit different this year. The event will be held at outdoor sets through the Los Angeles Convention Center instead of the Staples Center stage, the default venue. Nonetheless, audiences can expect to enjoy exciting performances from legacy and budding artists, along with early award presentations and arrivals. 

HOW TO WATCH THE GRAMMYS FREE IN THE US

• Those living in the US can tune into CBS with regular TV. If, however, you don't have regular TV, the show will stream through Paramount+, a subscription video-on-demand streaming service.
• It's also possible to access the show if you have a TV package through services, like YouTube TV and Hulu live TV.
• You can view early award presentations on grammy.com starting at 3 p.m. ET, 12 p.m. PT, and 8 p.m. UK/GMT.

The Recording Academy is unveiling what it calls "unprecedented digital access" to Grammy content through Grammy Live, which will stream all day internationally on Sunday, March 14, plus during and after the Grammy Awards broadcast. Grammy Live will provide viewers with behind-the-scenes footage of backstage experiences, pre-show interviews, and post-show highlights. You can follow Grammy Live on Grammy.com and via Facebook Live, the exclusive streaming partner of Grammy Live.

HOW TO WATCH THE GRAMMYS IN THE UK, ONLINE AND ELSEWHERE

Those with subscriptions to Sky, Virgin Media, TalkTalk TV, and Plusnet can view red carpet coverage and the award show itself. For non-US dwellers, it's possible to access geo-restrictions through a VPN service, which makes your device think it's in a different location.

• Download and install the VPN following ExpressVPN's easy-to-follow instructions (ExpressVPN comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, and if you click here you can get 49% off and 3 months free, too.)
• Once you've installed your VPN, open the app and select your server location as anywhere in the US. You'll then be in the same region as the streaming source, in the case CBS All Access.
• With your VPN installed and server location set to the US, you can now view The Grammys fanfare and enjoy a night of musical performances, red carpet interviews, and more.
