The CMT Music Awards will return live from Moody Center in Austin, Texas on Sunday, April 7, 2024 on CBS, and will be available to stream live and on demand via Paramount+ with Showtime.

Paramount Global’s signature country tentpole returns for the third consecutive year following record-setting 2023 ratings. The 2023 awards scored its biggest audience ever with the broadcast reaching 6.18 million viewers.

“We couldn’t be more excited to bring the CMT Music Awards on CBS back to Austin in 2024,” say Executive Producers Margaret Comeaux, John Hamlin and Leslie Fram. “From the electrifying, sold-out Moody Center crowd to fans packing the streets for our outdoor Congress stage, and Bevo himself walking the red carpet, our Texas-sized welcome proved to be one of our biggest and most unforgettable shows yet. We’re thankful to our incredible partners at Moody Center and with the City of Austin and are thrilled to bring CMT’s signature blend of world premieres, genre-bending surprises and once-in-a-lifetime collaborations back this April.”

Jeff Nickler, Oak View Group’s Senior Vice President, says, “Oak View Group and Moody Center are honored to welcome CMT, CBS and Paramount back to Austin. We look forward to building upon the success of last year’s record-breaking event and to hosting another sold-out audience for country music’s biggest party.”

“The CMT Music Awards are coming back to Austin in 2024, and we couldn’t be more excited,” says Kirk Watson, Mayor of Austin. “As the ‘Live Music Capital of the World,’ Austin is no stranger to celebrating its vibrant music community and showcasing an eclectic array of musical talents. We’re proud that the CMT Music Awards are returning to Austin, and we can’t wait to welcome artists and visitors to our city.”
