Which Los Angeles venue hosted the 2026 Grammy Awards?

The 2026 Grammy Awards were held at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

The downtown Los Angeles venue has become the Grammys’ regular home in the modern era. The 68th ceremony marked the arena’s 23rd time hosting the event, making it one of the most familiar locations in Grammy history.

Crypto.com Arena opened in 1999 as Staples Center and was renamed in 2021 after a naming-rights agreement with cryptocurrency platform Crypto.com. Many older references to the Grammys therefore list “Staples Center,” even though the building’s official name was Crypto.com Arena for the 2026 ceremony.

The venue also hosted the main televised ceremony, while the earlier Grammy Premiere Ceremony took place at the nearby Peacock Theater. That distinction explains why both locations can appear in coverage of the same Grammy day, but the answer for the 2026 Grammy Awards themselves is Crypto.com Arena.
