From Louisiana to Nashville: Lainey Wilson Announces Return as CMA Awards Host

By Mariana A Sep 6, 2026 | 1:53 PM

Lainey Wilson is returning to host the CMA Awards as the ceremony prepares to celebrate its 60th anniversary.

According to Billboard, the country star will host the 60th Annual CMA Awards on November 18 at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. The role makes Wilson the first woman to solo-host the CMA Awards twice.

This will be Wilson’s third consecutive year as a CMA Awards host and her second year handling the ceremony on her own. She previously shared hosting duties with Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning in 2024 before taking over as solo host in 2025.

The announcement was made during ESPN’s College GameDay broadcast from Louisiana State University in Wilson’s home state of Louisiana. The 12-time CMA Award winner said she was especially excited to return with this year’s show marking six decades of the CMA Awards.

The ceremony will air live on ABC and Disney+, with streaming available on Hulu the following day. The nominees for this year’s awards are scheduled to be revealed on September 10.
