The Luke BryanPeyton Manning bromance continues with the 58th Annual CMA Awards. Bryan and Manning will return as hosts of the 2024 awards show, with Lainey Wilson joining them to make her hosting debut.

“Hosting the CMA Awards is such an honor and it’s crazy when I realize this is my 4th year back,” said Bryan. “Peyton and I have really worked to build off each other, and now adding Lainey to the mix will just bring another fun element to the night. Celebrating Country Music never gets old to me.”

The 2024 show airs live on ABC from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday, November 20, 2024 at 8pm ET/PT (tape-delayed on the West Coast).

“I am honored to be back hosting the CMA Awards again this year,” stated Manning. “The past two years have been a lot of fun, and I know Lainey is going to bring a special flare. Hopefully, she can help me keep Luke in line! Either way, I’m excited for an incredible night of celebration and Country Music.”

Morgan Wallen tops the list of this year’s nominees with seven. Chris Stapleton and Cody Johnson follow with five nominations each.

“I could not be more excited to host the CMA Awards this year with Luke and Peyton,” said Wilson. “It’s such an incredible honor and something I’ve always dreamed of doing. We’re planning a really great show for y’all, so make sure to watch on November 20!”

The 58th Annual CMA Awards will be directed by Alan Carter. Robert Deaton is executive producing and Jon Macks is the head writer.
