The presenters for the 2025 instalment of the ‘CMA Fest Presented by SoFi’ TV Special have been unveiled, with two good friends and country music heavyweights - Cody Johnson and Ashley McBryde - set to host the star-studded show this summer.

Featuring highlights from the forthcoming CMA Fest Nissan Stadium sets, the TV Special will air on Thursday, June 26 at 8/7c on ABC, and will stream online via Hulu the following day.

With country titans such as Brooks & Dunn, Riley Green, Ella Langley, Megan Moroney, Dierks Bentley, Blake Shelton, Kelsea Ballerini and more set to take the Nissan Stadium stage this week for CMA Fest 2025, the TV Special will feature a plethora of blockbuster performances from some of the biggest names in the genre.

The TV Special will be a fantastic opportunity to get a taste of the action for all those country fans that haven't been able to make it to Nashville, to witness CMA Fest 2025 in person.

In addition, those who have travelled to Music City for the country extravaganza will be able to relive the euphoria of seeing their favourite artists with this highlights show.

To promote the TV Special, Cody Johnson and Ashley McBryde have shared an amusing bloopers reel, before expressing their excitement ahead of the air date later this month.

CMA Fest 2025 descends on Music City on Thursday, June 5th, with those in Nashville in store for four stacked days of live-wire performances from a blend of some of the genre's leading figures alongside a plethora of country music's brightest prospects.
