The Academy of Country Music Awards show is airing Sunday night. Come back here for a complete list of winners as the telecast proceeds.
To watch the show live, tune in to CBS at 8 p.m. on the east coast or 7 in the central time zone, including Nashville, host city for the telecast. On the west coast, it will air with a three-hour delay at 8 p.m PT.
With a valid cable log-in, you can also watch the show via livestream on CBS.com or the CBS app.
If you don’t have cable, it can be streamed via the Paramount Plus app. Monthly subscriptions begin at $5.99, but if you’re interested in trying it out for free to watch the ACMs, you can sign up for a free trial here.
The show can also be seen on subscription streaming apps that offer CBS programming, including YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, fuboTV and AT&T TV NOW.
Next-day viewing will be limited to Paramount Plus and the CBS website.
The ACM Awards are being co-hosted by Keith Urban and Mickey Guyton. To read Variety’s interview with Guyton, click here. ACM CEO Damon Whiteside offered Variety a preview of what to expect from the show, both as a TV viewer and inside the house; read that story here.
