This is the first year since 1972 that the Academy of Country Music Awards will not be airing on network television.
Instead, the ceremony will be streamed live exclusively on Amazon Prime Video later this evening beginning at 8PM ET/5PM PT in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the U.K.
In order to watch the 2022 ACM Awards, fans will have to log in to their Amazon Prime account to access the Prime Video app. The stream will be available in the “Upcoming Live Events” category or can be searched.
Those who do not have an Amazon Prime account can still watch the show by signing up for a 30-day free trial of the app. The trial can be canceled at any time by the end of the 30-day window, otherwise, users will be charged a membership fee of $14.99/month.
If fans happen to miss tonight’s show, there will be a re-broadcast stream on IMDb TV, Amazon’s free streaming service, available tomorrow, March 8th, at 8PM ET. This service will require either an Amazon or IMDb account.
The awards show will begin at 8PM, but the stream will kick off the evening with the official ACM Awards Red Carpet Show at 7PM ET hosted by Elaina Smith, Kristin Cavallari, Priscilla Block and Zuri Hall. Kat & Alex and Tenille Townes will also perform as part of the pre-show.
