American Music Awards Partners with CBS and Paramount+ to Air Live Event
closer to the show, which will air in May, but fans will be happy to know that the AMAs will be returning to CBS and Paramount+.
The American Music Awards, a staple in the music industry, will be back on CBS and Paramount+ in 2026, marking a new chapter for this prestigious event. Originally airing on ABC for decades, the AMAs took a brief hiatus before making a big splash on CBS last year. Now, with a fresh deal in place, viewers can look forward to the 2026 broadcast live from Las Vegas.
This year’s American Music Awards were a hit, drawing over 10 million viewers and showcasing incredible talent from artists like Janet Jackson, Blake Shelton, and Gwen Stefani. Hosted by the one and only Jennifer Lopez, the show also honored U.S. troops in a moving tribute. The success of last year’s broadcast paved the way for the show’s return to CBS and Paramount+ in 2026.
While details about the 2026 AMAs are still under wraps, including the host, performers, and nominees, music fans can rest assured that the show will be back in all its glory. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the big event in May.
In addition to the AMAs, CBS is home to a lineup of prestigious awards shows like the Grammys, Tony Awards, and Golden Globe Awards. As for the future of the Grammys, a new 10-year deal with ABC means the show will have a new home starting in 2027. But for now, CBS remains the place to be for top-notch entertainment events, making it a must-watch destination for music and awards show enthusiasts alike.
