Bryan, Manning, Wilson host CMAs
Bryan, a four-time CMA Awards host this year, and Manning, a three-time host this year, are joined by first-time host Wilson. The event will be broadcast live from Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 20, 8-11 p.m. eastern, on ABC.
"Hosting the CMA Awards is such an honor, and it's crazy when I realize this is my fourth year back," said Bryan. "Peyton and I have really worked to build off each other and now adding Lainey to the mix will just bring another fun element to the night. Celebrating country music never gets old to me."
"I am honored to be back hosting the CMA Awards again this year," said Manning. "The past two years have been a lot of fun, and I know Lainey is going to bring a special flare. Hopefully she can help me keep Luke in line. Either way, I'm excited for an incredible night of celebration and country music."
"I could not be more excited to host the CMA Awards this year with Luke and Peyton," said Wilson. "It's such an incredible honor and something I've always dreamed of doing. We're planning a really great show for y'all, so make sure to watch on Nov. 20."
Performers and presenters will be announced soon.
