The 27th annual Latin Grammys take place on Thursday, November 12, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Roselyn Sánchez will host the ceremony for the tenth time, and the three-hour telecast starts at 8 p.m. Eastern time on Univision, UNIMÁS, Galavisión and ViX. Karol G, Rosalía and Daddy Yankee lead a performance lineup that runs from reggaeton and regional Mexican music to pop, rock and salsa.
Latin Grammys return to the MGM Grand Garden Arena
The Latin Grammys ceremony returns to the MGM Grand Garden Arena, where Las Vegas has hosted the show before. The main telecast runs from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. Eastern, with the top awards handed out between performances. An hour-long pre-show starts at 7 p.m. Eastern, and TelevisaUnivision will carry red-carpet coverage under the name Noche de Estrellas.
Most of the awards will be handed out before the telecast, during the Latin Grammy Premiere ceremony. The Premiere streams from 3 p.m. Eastern, or noon Pacific, from the MGM Conference Center Marquee Ballroom, across the Latin Recording Academy’s digital platforms. Lila Downs, Daniela Mercury and Niña Pastori will host the afternoon ceremony, which covers the majority of the show’s 60 categories.
The Associated Press will stream the red carpet from 5 p.m. Eastern on YouTube and apnews.com, and TelevisaUnivision will run a backstage livestream from 5:30 p.m. Eastern. Viewers in the United States can watch the main show on Univision, UNIMÁS and Galavisión, or stream it on ViX. The broadcaster lists an 8 p.m. Pacific television airing as well, so viewers on the West Coast should check local listings.
Latin Grammys performers and tributes
Daddy Yankee is this year’s Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year, and he will also perform during the telecast. The Latin Grammys performance lineup includes Anitta, Juanes, Carín León, Mon Laferte, Jorge Drexler, Silvana Estrada, Kany García, Rawayana and Xavi, alongside Karol G, Rosalía and Daddy Yankee. Bad Gyal, Bizarrap, Feid, Grupo Frontera, Nathy Peluso, Diljit Dosanjh and The Warning are also on the bill.
The show will pay tribute to two figures from Latin music history. A tribute to salsa pioneer Willie Colón will be led by his musical director and bandleader Ennio Gatti, alongside Colón’s original 13-member band. The show also plans a tribute to Mexican songwriting legend José Alfredo Jiménez, produced by Edgar Barrera, who leads all nominees this year with 10 nominations.
Barrera, a producer and songwriter, leads the nominations with 10, including record, producer and songwriter of the year, plus two nominations in both the song and album of the year categories. Karol G is nominated in seven categories, including album of the year for Tropicoqueta and record and song of the year for “Coleccionando Heridas.” Nominations cover recordings released between June 1, 2025, and May 31, 2026.
