The Grammy Awards are presented annually by the Recording Academy [1]. The Polymarket event in this article concerns the Record of the Year category at the 69th Annual GRAMMY Awards. Each market in the event asks whether a specific track will win that category [1]. The contract is tied to the listed track winning Record of the Year. The provider rules state that the market will resolve according to the listed track that wins Record of the Year at the 69th Annual GRAMMY Awards [1]. The rules also say that nominations are scheduled for November 16, 2026 and the ceremony for February 7, 2027 [1]. These are scheduled dates stated in the provider's rules. They are not evidence that the nominations or ceremony have already taken place as of the present date. The contract includes several conditions that determine how it settles. If a track is not officially nominated for Record of the Year when the nominees are announced, the corresponding market will immediately resolve to "No" [1]. If two tracks tie for the win, the market resolves in favor of the nominated track whose listed title comes first in alphabetical order [1]. If no winner is declared by June 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, the market resolves to "Other" [1]. The rules name the television broadcast of the awards and the Grammy website as the resolution source, and they allow other credible reporting to be used [1]. The listed end time for the event is 2027-07-01T03:59:00.000Z [1]. Some individual markets in the saved data show an end date of February 7, 2027 instead, so the end date field should be read as a contract setting rather than a record of when results were announced. The event's listed prices are snapshots taken at a provider observation time. They are not executable quotes, verified probabilities, or a measure of how many people are trading. Trading volume is also not a measure of liquidity. Differences between the prices of separate contracts do not by themselves show a trading opportunity, because each contract has its own wording and settlement terms.

Historical Context

The 68th Annual Grammy Awards honored recordings from August 31, 2024 to August 30, 2025, and were chosen by Recording Academy members before the ceremony on February 1, 2026 [2]. That ceremony took place at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, and it was broadcast on CBS, which was the last time the ceremony aired on CBS since 1973 [2]. South African comedian Trevor Noah hosted the ceremony for the sixth consecutive and final time [2]. On October 30, 2024, the Recording Academy announced that the Grammys would return to ABC and stream on Hulu and Disney+ beginning in 2027, under a ten-year deal [2]. The trophy depicts a gilded gramophone, and the original idea was to call the awards the "Gramophone Awards" [3].
