The CMA Fest Presented by SoFi TV Special returns on Thursday, June 25th, with first-time hosts Riley Green and Good Morning America's Lara Spencer set to host the three-hour show.

The much-loved TV Special will air on ABC at 8/7c on June 25th, with the full show being made available to stream the following day (Friday, June 26th) exclusively via Hulu.

It will feature highlights from the Nissan Stadium at CMA Fest 2026, which takes place across June 4th to 6th.

As well as making his hosting debut, Green will be performing an eagerly anticipated headline set at CMA Fest, and we can't wait to witness fan-favourites from his stellar catalogue, ranging from ‘Worst Way’ to ‘Different ‘Round Here’.

CMA Fest remains the jewel in the summer country calendar's crown, with the Music City extravaganza welcoming thousands of aficionados from across the world year on year.

The 2026 CMA Fest Presented by SoFi TV Special is once again executive produced and written by Robert Deaton, with Alan Carter resuming his role as the show's director.
