This year’s hosts combine experience with fresh energy. Luke Bryan, hosting for the fourth time, who couldn’t hide his excitement said, "Hosting the CMA Awards is such an honor, and it’s crazy when I realize this is my fourth year back. 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," during a press release earlier.

Peyton Manning, returning for his third year, chimed in, “I am honored to be back hosting the CMA Awards again this year. 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!”

First-time host Lainey Wilson also shared her excitement by saying, “I could not be more excited to host the CMA Awards this year with Luke and Peyton. 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 November 20!”
