Trevor Noah is set to make history once again as he returns to host the 2026 Grammy Awards, marking an unprecedented sixth consecutive year at the helm of music’s biggest night.
The ceremony is scheduled to take place on Sunday, February 1, 2026, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, continuing Noah’s celebrated run as one of the most consistent and well-received hosts in the show’s modern era.
With this appearance, Noah becomes the first host to lead the Grammys for six straight years since legendary crooner Andy Williams, who hosted the first seven live telecasts from 1971 to 1977.
However, this milestone also comes with a farewell. Grammy executive producer Ben Winston has confirmed that the upcoming ceremony will be Trevor Noah’s final time hosting the awards.
“I am beyond thrilled to welcome Trevor Noah back to host the Grammys for his sixth, and sadly, final time,” Winston said in a statement.
“He’s been the most phenomenal host of the show — so smart, so funny, and such a true fan of the artists and music. His impact on the show has been truly spectacular, and we can’t wait to do it together one last time.”
While Noah’s streak is historic, he isn’t the only figure to have hosted the Grammys six times. Singer-songwriter John Denver previously took on hosting duties in non-consecutive years, first from 1978 to 1979 and later between 1982 and 1985.
The 2026 Grammys will also signal the end of another long-standing chapter in the show’s history. It will be the final ceremony to air on CBS, bringing to a close a broadcast partnership that dates back to 1973.
Starting in 2027, the Recording Academy will move the Grammys to ABC, with streaming available on Hulu and Disney+, following a major global broadcast deal announced in October 2024.
Beyond hosting, Noah will also serve as an executive producer for the 2026 ceremony, alongside Ben Winston, Raj Kapoor, and Jesse Collins.
Adding to his presence this year, Trevor Noah is also a Grammy nominee, earning a nod for Best Audio Book, Narration, and Storytelling Recording for Into the Uncut Grass. The nomination marks his fourth Grammy nod and third consecutive year in contention, following earlier recognitions in the Best Comedy category.
As Noah prepares for his final bow on the Grammys stage, the 2026 ceremony promises to be both a celebration of music and a fitting send-off for one of the show’s most defining hosts.
