The pair made their debut as co-hosts at the 2022 CMA Music Awards and are now one of four pairs of co-hosts asked to return. That short list includes Mac Davis and Barbara Mandrell (1980-1982), Brooks & Dunn (2004-2006) and Brad Paisley with Carrie Underwood (2008-2018).

“When I was asked if Peyton Manning is someone I would consider co-hosting with, I didn’t hesitate,” Bryan said when their first co-hosting gig was revealed. “We have become great friends through the years, and what he brings to the table is gonna make it even more of a blast.”

The 2023 CMA Awards will air live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 8, at 8PM ET.

Nominees, performers and presenters will all be revealed in the months and weeks leading up to the big show dubbed “Country music’s biggest night.”
