The 57th Annual Grammy Awards, music’s biggest night of the year, kicks off in a few hours from now (February 8, 2015 at 3:30pm PT/6:30pm ET) at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
If you’re not able to watch it on your TV to find out if your favorite artist or song wins the award, then here are some limited options to follow the action on your iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple TV via AirPlay.
How to watch the 57th Annual Grammy Awards on your iPhone, iPad or Apple TV:
The only official way to watch the awards show live on your iPhone, iPad or Apple TV via AirPlay is using the CBS app. The app is only available in the US App Store, and will need a subscription to CBS All Access, which is available in the following 14 cities in the U.S.

A subscription to CBS All Access will cost you $6 per month, but will also offer you access to next day TV shows, live TV, on-demand and more. If you are not interested in paying $6 a month just to watch the Grammy Awards, you can make use of the one-week trial offered by CBS to its All Access subscription service. Just make sure to cancel the subscription once you are done watching the Awards show.
