The 2026 Grammy ceremony contested 95 categories.
The 68th Annual Grammy Awards took place on February 1, 2026, at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The ceremony recognized recordings released during the eligibility period and included awards across pop, rap, rock, country, jazz, classical, Latin, R&B, and other fields.
The total included both the televised awards and the many prizes presented during the Premiere Ceremony. That distinction can cause confusion: only a small selection of categories is shown during the main broadcast, while most winners are announced earlier. The Recording Academy also added new categories and revised some existing ones for the 2026 awards.
The number 95 refers to award categories, not the number of winners or nominees. A single category can recognize multiple credited artists, producers, songwriters, or engineers, and some individuals can win more than once in different categories.
