Credential Request

Thank you for your interest in the 2026 GRAMMY Awards®.

The deadline to apply for media credentials to cover the 2026 GRAMMY Awards was Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2025, at 5 p.m. PT. The applications are now closed.

Due to the overwhelming number of applications, there are no exceptions to this deadline. Please do not contact the Recording Academy® to ask for an extension. If you applied in time, you will receive notification of your credential status on a rolling basis beginning late December. Please do not make travel arrangements prior to the confirmation of your credential status, as submitting an application does not guarantee credentials. 

The deadline for publicist credential applications is Wednesday, Nov. 26 at 5 p.m. PT. If you need access to submit a credential application prior to this date, please email GRAMMYAwards@pmkentertainment.com.  

Please direct questions regarding media or publicist credentials to GRAMMYAwards@pmkentertainment.com.

The 2026 GRAMMY Awards returns to Los Angeles' Crypto.com Arena on Sun, Feb. 1, 2026, and will broadcast live on the CBS Television Network and will stream on Paramount+.
