Ashley Mcbryde will be among the presenters at the 61st Academy of Country Music Awards, the Academy of Country Music, Prime Video and Dick Clark Productions said Tuesday. The three-time ACM Award-winning artist joins a lineup that includes Shania Twain, who will host the show.
The 61st ACM Awards will stream live on Prime Video on Sunday, May 17, 2026, from MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The broadcast starts at 8 p.m. ET, 7 p.m. CT and 5 p.m. PT, and will also be available on the Amazon Music channel on Twitch and in the Amazon Music app.
McBryde is part of a presenter roster that also includes Andrew Whitworth, Carl Edwards, Corey LaJoie, Keith Urban, Lauren Alaina, Michael Bublé, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Shaboozey, The War And Treaty and TJ Osborne. The announcement lands in the middle of the buildup to the annual country music awards show, which is returning to Las Vegas for the ceremony and related events.
Tickets for the ACM Awards and ACM Awards week events are already on sale through AXS.com, with some starting at $100. For McBryde, the new role adds another visible slot on one of country music’s biggest nights, and for the ACMs it signals the final stretch before the show takes over Las Vegas next week.
