How to watch the 2021 Grammy Awards
CBS will air the 2021 Grammy Awards on March 14 at 8 p.m. ET. You can watch the Grammys live through CBS on cable, over-the-air TV, or streaming services with access to the CBS channel.
One of the most affordable ways to watch the Grammys live on CBS without cable is through Paramount Plus (formerly CBS All Access). The service costs $6 a month for the ad-supported plan, or $10 a month for the commercial-free option. However, the “ad-free” feature only applies to on-demand shows in the Paramount Plus library.
If you sign up for Paramount Plus before March 31 you can receive a one-month trial. This is the longest trial period among major streaming services right now and it will allow you to watch the Grammys for free.
Both the ad-supported and ad-free plan include access to your live CBS station in most TV markets. That said, the ad-supported plan will be replaced by a cheaper $5 monthly option in June, and this new plan will no longer include live CBS. You can find more information in our Paramount Plus guide.

Another option for CBS is Locast, a non-profit live TV streaming service with access to local networks. The app relies on donations to keep it afloat and is currently available in 30 markets. Though technically free, Locast will interrupt your stream every couple of minutes if you don’t pay the suggested $5 monthly donation fee.
Streaming Subscription (small)
Other live TV streaming services with CBS include Fubo TV, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and AT&T TV. These options cost between $65 and $70 a month for their base packages. They all provide a large selection of live channels, which makes them a better alternative to cable than Paramount Plus or Locast. If you want the most channels for your money, we recommend Fubo TV for its 122 channel lineup.
