Following the record-setting success of the 61st ACM Awards, which according to Greyhill Advisors, generated an estimated $53 million in total economic impact for the Las Vegas region — an 85% year-over-year increase from the 2025 show in Frisco, Texas — the 62nd ACM Awards promises another unforgettable celebration of Country Music’s biggest stars. The 2026 show additionally generated $15.7 million in increased employee earnings and supported approximately 290 full-time equivalent jobs across industries, while driving significant fan and artist engagement, with ACM Awards social accounts garnering more than 153 million video views.

Hosted by Shania Twain, the 2026 show featured 17 performances from many of Country Music’s biggest stars and celebrated both established icons and the genre’s next generation of talent. Cody Johnson earned his first ACM Entertainer of the Year award, while Ella Langley led all winners with a record-breaking seven trophies, setting a new benchmark for the most ACM wins by a single artist in one year.

The 62nd ACM Awards will continue its groundbreaking legacy as the first-ever major award show to exclusively livestream, with the show streaming on Prime Video to audiences in more than 240 countries and territories, as well as on Amazon Music and Twitch. In addition to the main show, ACM Awards will feature a range of exciting ancillary events throughout the week with full details to be shared at a later date.
