Can I watch Grammys 2021 in the UK? Start time, red carpet live stream, nominations and why it’s not on TV

The music industry’s biggest awards night is taking place on Sunday, with the 2021 Grammys.

There will be no studio audience due to the pandemic, but stars will still walk the red carpet, and a stacked list of A-listers will perform at the event.

Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa, Harry Styles, Cardi B, BTS, Billie Eilish and Megan Thee Stallion are among the line-up.

One person who will not be there is The Weeknd, who has said he will boycott all future Grammys after not receiving a single nomination.

When are the 2021 Grammy Awards?

The awards show kicks off at 5pm PT on Sunday 14 March, which is 1am on Monday 15 March in the UK.

It will be held at Los Angeles’ Staples Centre, and Trevor Noah will host.

The red carpet walks will start earlier, at around 10pm GMT.

The event was originally scheduled to take place in 31 January, but was pushed back because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

How can I watch in the UK?

You can watch two hours of red carpet coverage on E!, which you can find on Sky, Virgin Media, TalkTalkTV and Plusnet.

The show itself is being broadcast on CBS in the US. Unfortunately there is no live broadcast being shown in the UK.

Who are the nominees?

Beyonce leads the nominations, with nine, despite not releasing an album of new music during the eligibility period.

Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa and Roddy Ricch all have six nods.
