Mark your calendars because the ACM Awards will return to Las Vegas in 2022!
The 57th Academy of Country Music Awards will take place on Monday, March 7, 2022 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
For the first time ever, the show will stream on Prime Video in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, rather than on CBS. This marks the first time a major awards show has livestreamed exclusively.

“We are thrilled to return to Las Vegas to celebrate country music’s Party of the Year in this incredible brand-new stadium and on the Prime Video streaming service for the first time ever,” said Damon Whiteside, CEO of the Academy of Country Music. “We can’t thank the city of Las Vegas and Allegiant Stadium enough for welcoming us for the 57th Academy of Country Music Awards—a party so big only a stadium can hold it!”
Dubbed “Country Music’s Party of the Year,” the event will feature many of country music’s biggest stars and hottest newcomers live and in-person.
The host, nominees and performers for the ACM Awards have yet to be announced.
