The ACM Awards are making their much-anticipated return to Las Vegas in 2026, setting the sparkle for an unforgettable night. After spending three years in Frisco, Texas, this iconic event will grace the MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 17, bringing together country music fans in a city that thrives on glamour. CEO Damon Whiteside of the Academy of Country Music is thrilled, stating it feels like a homecoming—a fitting description for an event with such rich history in the Entertainment Capital of the World.
This year’s awards will also see a switch back to Sunday night for the main event after having been held on a Thursday last year. The fun begins a couple of days earlier with ACM Awards Week kicking off on May 15. So, mark your calendars because before you know it, the nominees, hosts, and performers will be announced, turning up the excitement. Get ready for a celebration that promises to shine brighter than the Las Vegas Strip!
