Month: February 2026

The Grammys are still the biggest night in the music industry, and the one award that most artists covet the most. That is why many music fans can’t wait to see which performers will take home one of the golden gramophones this year. Here is exactly how to watch the ceremony live and on demand.

How to Watch the 2026 Grammy Awards: TV, Streaming, and Online Options

The 68th Grammy Awards will take place live on February 1, 2026, from 8 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. ET and 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. PT. The Grammy Awards website reveals that there are several ways fans will be able to watch the main show and pre-shows. CBS will be the home of the main telecast. So, anyone who can watch that network on cable, satellite, antenna, or through a live TV service, like YouTube TV, is all set.

Paramount+ Premium plan subscribers will also be able to watch live, through access to the CBS feed, or on demand afterward. Paramount+ Essential subscribers will not have the option to stream live, but will be able to enjoy the full show on demand starting the day after, February 2.

Even people who can watch through CBS or Paramount+ may want to choose to watch through live.GRAMMY.com instead. That website will offer a multi-camera immersive experience that will provide a behind-the-scenes look at the full performances, acceptance speeches, backstage interviews, and more live coverage. This could be the best option for die-hard music fans who want to see it all.

How to Watch the Grammy Awards Premiere Ceremony and Red Carpet Coverage

The Grammy Awards main telecast will be hosted by Trevor Noah for the sixth and final time. It will also feature performances from artists like Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, Pharrell Williams, Clipse, Ms. Lauryn Hill, and more. However, the bulk of the awards, more than 80 categories, are given out earlier in the day during the Premiere Ceremony. That arguably makes the Premiere Ceremony must see for any devoted fans who want to see the biggest accomplishments in the recording industry celebrated.

The 2026 Grammy Awards Premiere Ceremony will start at 12:30 p.m. PT/3:30 p.m. ET. That will be followed by GRAMMY Live From The Red Carpet, which will begin airing at 3 p.m. PT/6 p.m. ET. Both specials will stream live, free, and without the need for a subscription on the Recording Academy’s YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook accounts, as well as on live.GRAMMY.com.

Since McDonald’s is the most famous fast food chain in the world, it matters when the company has big plans for its customers. However, it can be difficult to track every menu change that the company has coming. That is why this article will detail every confirmed and rumored menu change coming to McDonald’s in the U.S. this year, from what’s already landed to what’s on deck.

McDonald’s Menu Changes Still Coming in 2026

The McDonald’s x Pokémon TCG Happy Meal:

In a January 2026 article citing Hypebeast, The Street reported that McDonald’s is set to bring back a beloved partnership from its past in February and March 2026. The company is expected to launch the McDonald’s x Pokémon TCG Happy Meal to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the trading card and multimedia franchise. The Happy Meal reportedly will come packaged with four-card booster packs.

The Shamrock Shake and Shamrock Oreo McFlurry:

This menu change shouldn’t come as a surprise to most McDonald’s fans as the Shamrock Shake and Shamrock Oreo McFlurry have been an annual seasonal favorite for years. According to Sporked, the two popular drinks are expected to be brought back for a limited time starting on February 17th.

More Chicken and Better Burgers:

In December 2025, Mashed published an article that detailed two ongoing initiatives that McDonald’s will continue to execute throughout the year. First, the Best Burger initiative is set to continue improving the taste of and ingredients used in McDonald’s sandwiches like the Big Mac and Quarter Pounder. Second, the company intends to widen its chicken offerings in its U.S. locations to match its international ones that already spotlight that ingredient more.

CosMc’s Drinks Coming To Some McDonald’s (Rumor):

PennLive reported in January 2026 that McDonald’s will be bringing drink options from CosMc’s to 500 traditional locations, without laying out a specific timeline. The outlet states that the Strawberry Watermelon Refresher, Sprite Lunar Splash, the Toasted Vanilla Frappé, Popping Tropic Refresher, and a Creamy Vanilla Cold Brew will be making the leap.

The Big Arch (Unconfirmed Rumor):

Even though the Big Arch is available in several international markets, it has never fully arrived in U.S. McDonald’s locations nationwide. In January 2026, The Street reported on a belief that will change soon. According to the outlet, the larger burger was tested in Chicago for a limited time and is now expected to be sold across the country starting in early March 2026. However, there hasn’t been any confirmation from the company, so that report has to be treated as a rumor for now.

McDonald’s Menu Changes Already Introduced in 2026

The Hot Honey Menu:

In January 2026, Food Republic published a review of McDonald’s Hot Honey line that was launched in American locations on January 27th. The menu that was introduced for a limited time only included the following five items.

• Hot Honey Sausage Egg & Cheese Biscuit
• Bacon Hot Honey McCrispy
• Hot Honey McCrispy
• Hot Honey Snack Wrap
• The sauce on the side

Novak Djokovic came out firing on all cylinders against Carlos Alcaraz in the 2026 Australian Open final on Sunday, aggressively taking the first set 6-2 while looking to make some unique tennis history of his own.

Winning the match would have not only placed “The Joker” at the very top across men’s and women’s tennis with 25 majors, it would have also made him the oldest male player to win a major in the Open era at 38 years old.

But it was not to be, as the special history-making moment stood on the side of the 22-year-old Alcaraz, who broke Rafael Nadal’s record in becoming the youngest tennis player to win a career Grand Slam.

Carlos Alcaraz Beats Novak Djokovic in Four Sets to Break Rafael Nadal’s Record

After coming out flat in the first frame, Alcaraz took three straight sets against Djokovic — 6-2, 6-3, 7-5 — to win the Australian Open final, marking his seventh major singles title that almost feels crowded with some truly rare tennis history.

Alcaraz not only broke the aforementioned career Grand Slam record set by Nadal, he also became the youngest man of all-time to win seven majors before their 23rd birthday.

As is usually the case whenever these two take the court, particularly with a major on the line, the match was loaded with memorable rallies, frequently finding themselves at deuce in some of their more lengthy games throughout the final.

Putting the History-Making Moment From Carlos Alcaraz in Perspective

The idea that Alcaraz was able to break Nadal’s record against Djokovic, arguably considered the greatest tennis player to ever grace the court, probably made it extra sweet for the 22-year-old.

And that’s especially true when taking a look at how Alcaraz’s iconic feat stacks up to other legends of the game, and the age they were when they put a winning stamp on a career Grand Slam of their own:

• Rafael Nadal — 24 years old (2010 U.S. Open)
• Roger Federer — 27 years old (2009 French Open)
• Andre Agassi — 29 years old (1999 French Open)
• Novak Djokovic — 29 years old (2016 French Open)

Alcaraz landing on the historic mark a whopping seven years before Djokovic was able to hit the mark kind of says it all.

Rafael Nadal Was in Attendance at Australian Open to See Alcaraz Break Record

The always classy Nadal was on-hand to watch Alcaraz break his record that was set 16 years ago and, somewhat fittingly, ended up partaking in a rare, lighthearted moment during what was otherwise an expectedly intense Australian Open final.

“Wanna play, Rafa?” Djokovic jokingly said to Nadal, who simply could not stop smiling.

What’s the Next Major For Carlos Alcaraz?

While it’s unclear what may or may not be in store for the 38-year-old Djokovic, the French Open, also known as Roland Garros, on May 18 is the next opportunity for Alcaraz to continue carving out more history in terms of major titles.
