Hosts and performers have yet to be announced but it'll likely involve some of this year's top talent. CMT has yet to explain how this year's show will run given the ongoing pandemic. Last year's show was held virtually in October.

The 2020 award show featured artists Kane Brown and Ashley McBryde serving as co-hosts alongside "Modern Family" alum Sarah Hyland.
