2026 CMA Awards Nominations: Here’s How to Watch the Livestream Announcement
The nods for the 60th annual CMA Awards will be announced Sept. 10.
Country music enthusiasts can tune in to witness the 60th annual CMA Awards nominations unveiled on Thursday, September 10, by GMA's Lara Spencer on ABC's morning show. The ceremony will commence at 9 a.m. ET/8 a.m. CT/6 a.m. PT, with Lee Ann Womack and Hannah Harper hosting a livestream from Nashville on the CMA YouTube channel to unveil the complete list of nominees.
Womack, a 17-time nominee, has secured six CMA Awards, including Album of the Year for "There's More Where That Came From" in 2005 and Single and Song of the Year for "I Hope You Dance" in 2000.
The 2026 CMA Awards are slated for November 18 at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena, with Lainey Wilson set to return as host for the third time. Wilson, this year's reigning entertainer of the year, will likely face fierce competition from her four fellow nominees. Ella Langley's chart-topping hit "Choosin’ Texas," currently in its 21st week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, is expected to be a strong contender for the prestigious award.
The CMA Awards will be broadcast live on ABC, as well as simulcast on Disney+ and Hulu the following day. Tickets will go on sale starting September 18 at 11 a.m. ET. For additional information, fans can visit the CMA Awards' official website.
