The 2026 ACM Awards are bringing country‑music’s biggest night back to Vegas after a three‑year detour to Texas. The MGM Grand Garden Arena will host the event May 17, 2026, with the full awards week kicking off May 15. The livestream will once again be exclusive to Prime Video and the Amazon Music Twitch channel.
Organizers describe the return as a “homecoming,” pointing to the venue’s deep roots in ACM history. While the host and artist lineup remain under wraps, the return to Las Vegas signals a renewed push to make the show a major global spectacle — blending legacy country with modern livestream accessibility.
