The Grammy Awards saw many firsts, as well as Trevor Noah’s sixth and final time pulling hosting duty. Here’s the complete list of winners in 2026.

On Sunday, February 1, the Grammy Awards returned to the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. It was a night of historic firsts (and lasts), with the 2026 edition hosted by comedian Trevor Noah for the sixth and final time, and CBS broadcasting the show for the final time before it moves to Disney in 2027. Kendrick Lamar, Bad Bunny, Rosé, and even Kpop Demon Hunters made history with some impressive wins and nominations.

The night’s biggest awards went to Billie Eilish and Finneas for Song of the Year, Olivia Dean for Best New Artist, Kendrick Lamar and SZA for Record of the Year, and Bad Bunny for Album of the Year. Here’s a full list of the 2026 Grammy Awards ceremony winners, though many of these were presented at the non-televised premiere ceremony, hosted by Darren Criss.
