Cody Johnson accepts the award for Male Artist of the Year at The 61st Academy of Country Music Awards held at MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 17, 2026 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Academy of Country Music will return to Las Vegas in 2027 for the 62nd Annual ACM Awards. Slated for May 16, tickets will go on sale this fall.

The 61st Academy of Country Music Awards last month drove an estimated $53 million in total economic impact for the Las Vegas region.

The event generated $15.7 million in increased employee earnings and supported approximately 290 full-time equivalent jobs across industries ranging from television production and event operations to hospitality and transportation. Visitor spending accounted for $24.3 million of the total economic impact and generated $7.8 million in worker earnings and 147 full-time equivalent jobs. A full week of related concerts, brunches, dinners, pre-parties, after-parties, and fan and industry events generated an additional $4.5 million in economic activity for local hotels, restaurants, venues, and businesses throughout Las Vegas.

Hosted by Shania Twain, the 2026 show featured performances from Lainey Wilson, Miranda Lambert, Zach Top, Riley Green, Kacey Musgraves, Carter Faith and more.
