Academy of Country Music Announces 2021 Awards Show Date

The Academy of Country Music has had to revamp and re-plan everything for its 55th annual celebration due to the COVID-19 pandemic. And while the show has been rescheduled for September 16, the ACM is still looking towards their next awards show by announcing the air date for 2021.

The 56th Academy of Country Music Awards will broadcast live on Sunday, April 18, 2021 (live 8:00-11:00 PM ET/delayed PT). No word yet on if the show will return to Las Vegas as it normally does each year. Other details including the host, performers, ticket on-sale dates, hotel information, and more will be announced in the coming months.
