The 60th Country Music Association Awards will be back with a familiar face, as country superstar Lainey Wilson will return as the host.

After several years of being hosted by Luke Bryan and Denver Broncos legend Peyton Manning, Lainey Wilson joined the two as cohost in 2024 and then returned last year as the lone solo host. This will be her third consecutive show as a host for the awards.

Lainey shared “I couldn’t be more excited to host the CMA Awards again this year, especially with it being the 60th anniversary.”

The show will take place Wednesday, November 18, on ABC from Nashville, and this years’ nominees will be announced this Thursday, September 10.
