The 63rd Annual Grammy Awards ceremony will be held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. It will recognize the best recordings, compositions, and artists of the eligibility year, running from September 1, 2019, to August 31, 2020. The nominations were announced during a virtual livestream on November 24, 2020 by Chair, and Interim Recording Academy President/CEO, Harvey Mason Jr. alongside Megan Thee Stallion, Dua Lipa, Mickey Guyton, Lauren Daigle, Pepe Aguilar, Nicola Benedetti, Gayle King, Yemi Alade, Imogen Heap and Sharon Osbourne. Trevor Noah will host the ceremony for the first time.

The ceremony was originally scheduled for January 31, 2021; however, on January 5, 2021, the Recording Academy postponed the ceremony to March 14, 2021 due to a spike in COVID-19 cases in Los Angeles County as well as health and safety concerns therein.

For the 2021 ceremony, the academy announced several changes for different categories and rules:

• The category Best Urban Contemporary Album has been renamed Best Progressive R&B Album.
