In an effort to continuously reflect the current music landscape, the Grammys have added five new Categories and updated their rules, which will take effect for the upcoming 2027 Grammy Awards ceremony, airing across ABC, Disney+ and Hulu on Feb. 7, 2027.

The new Categories and rules are a direct reflection of the Grammy's membership body, who are the ones who put forth new proposals annually.

"2027 is going to be an amazing year for the Grammy Awards, and one that reflects the extraordinary growth we're seeing across music," said Grammys CEO Harvey Mason Jr. "The changes advanced by our Recording Academy members speak to the breadth of today's music industry and the many genres, crafts and creators shaping it. We're excited to see these updates come to life in the year ahead as we celebrate the music people who are driving music forward."
