The ACM Awards, originally scheduled to air on Sunday, April 5th, 2020, has been rescheduled to air on Wednesday, September 16th, 2020. The show will still air on CBS and as originally announced, Keith Urban is still set to be the host. As disappointing as this is for country artists and fans alike, the Academy of Country Music has put together a special program entitled, “ACM Presents: Our Country”, which will be aired on the original date of the awards, April 5th. The show will be comprised of performances by artists in their homes, and flashbacks to some of the greatest moments in the award show history.
