Hosted by Reba McEntire and Darius Rucker, Country Music’s Biggest Night airs live from Nashville’s Music City Center Wednesday, November 11th from 8-11 pm ET/PT on ABC.
Nominations for The 54th Annual CMA Awards were revealed last month. Winners of The 54th Annual CMA Awards will be determined in a final round of voting by eligible voting CMA members. Due to the pandemic, the show will forgo a live studio audience.
The 54th Annual CMA Awards is a production of the Country Music Association. Robert Deaton is the Executive Producer, Alan Carter is the Director and David Wild is the Head Writer.
