CMA Awards 2022 Live Broadcast, Performances, Hosts, and More: What To Expect From This Year's Show [DETAILS]

One of the biggest nights in country music, the 56th Annual CMA Awards, is just around the corner; and country music fans can watch the broadcast on ABC on Nov. 9 at 8 p.m. ET, while West coast viewers can catch it delayed beginning at 5 p.m. PST.

The country music award show will be happening at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.

According to reports, singer Luke Bryan will return to co-host the award show, however, this year, he will be hosting with Peyton Manning, a retired football quarterback.

"For me and this guy to be hosting the biggest night in country music, the CMA Awards, it's fun," said Bryan as he sat next to his co-host. "I got to do this by myself last year, and obviously, I didn't do a good enough job, so we had to go to the big guy here."

Manning pointed out the stark difference between their backgrounds, given that Bryan is a country singer himself.

"It's different for me because Luke is one of them, right? Luke is in the arena with all of these entertainers," Manning explained. "For me, I'm a fan. I have a great appreciation for the talents all these men and women have and to see them backstage all in one confined area is pretty cool."

ABC gave fans a glimpse of the pair's chemistry as they prepare to host one of the biggest nights in country music. The 45-second clip, simply showed the two sitting side-by-side, talking about the fun they had working together.
