Lainey Wilson will be joining previous co-hosts Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning as hosts of the 2025 CMA Awards.
The Country Music Association (CMA) and ABC announced that Bryan, Manning, and Wilson will host The 58th Annual CMA Awards, broadcast live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday, November 20th from 8-11 pm ET/PT on ABC and the next day on Hulu. This will be Bryan’s fourth time hosting and Manning’s third time hosting the awards show.
Says Wilson: “I could not be more excited to host the CMA Awards this year with Luke and Peyton 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!”
Bryan added: “Hosting the CMA Awards is such an honor and it’s crazy when I realize this is my 4th year back. 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.”
Stated Manning: “I am honored to be back hosting the CMA Awards again this year. 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.”
Performers and presenters will be announced in the coming weeks. Tickets for this year’s ceremony are currently on sale through Ticketmaster.
