The ACM Awards will stream exclusively on Prime Video for the fourth straight year. They will be held at Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, for a third straight year and be hosted by Reba McEntire for a second straight year.

This will be the 18th time McEntire has hosted or co-hosted the ACM Awards. She first co-hosted the show in 1986 with John Schneider and the late Mac Davis. McEntire is fast closing in on Bob Hope’s record as the most frequent host of any major awards show. Hope hosted or co-hosted the Oscars 19 times between 1940 and 1978.

The ACM Awards are produced by Dick Clark Productions. The awards are voted on by ACM members. The window to become a member or renew membership, which opened on Oct. 1, closes Friday, Nov. 15 at 10 a.m. CT. Prospective voters can submit an application for ACM membership online at www.acmcountry.com/membership.

The eligibility period for the 60th Academy of Country Music Awards is Jan. 1, 2024 through Dec. 31, 2024. The submissions period, for both the ACM Awards and the ACM Radio Awards, opens Jan. 6, 2025 and closes Jan. 17, 2025.
