How to Watch The Grammys Live
There are several ways to watch the Grammys live, even if you don’t have cable. We explain how below.
Watch The 65th Annual Grammy Awards Free
There are two free methods to watch The 65th Annual Grammy Awards if you don’t have cable. If you live close enough to a CBS broadcast tower, you can use a TV antenna, but this option doesn’t provide a way to watch on demand. An OTA DVR offers a way to record shows from a TV antenna, but that is an added expense.
Alternatively, you can take advantage of the free trials available with the following streaming services that carry a live stream of CBS:
- Paramount+ (7-day free trial)
- YouTube TV (free trial)
We cover these services in more detail throughout this article.
