After being dropped by CBS this year, the ACM Awards have found a new home but it’s not on any network.

The Academy of Country Music just announced that the 57th Academy of Country Music Awards will livestream on Amazon Prime in 2022. They will now be the first ever major award show to be been streamed exclusively.

“We are thrilled that the Academy of Country Music Awards are first to take this giant step toward the future of awards shows with Amazon Prime Video,” Damon Whiteside, CEO of the Academy of Country Music, shares. “This partnership, which reinforces our position as an innovative, progressive awards show, will deliver the broadest possible audience and, simultaneously, deliver massive value to our artists whose music lives inside this ecosystem, enabling fans to discover and stream music as they watch.”

So far no date for next year’s ACMs have been announced.
