The ACM Awards are set to take place Monday (Mar 7th) and for the first time in 13 years, it will not air on CBS.  Instead, the popular country music awards show is moving to Amazon Prime Video.

It will make history as the first major awards show to live stream exclusively, streaming live on Prime Video in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK.

Co-hosted by Dolly Parton, Gabby Barrett and Jimmie Allen, the star-studded awards show will feature 20+ performances from artists such as Carrie Underwood, Jason Aldean, Walker Hayes, Kane Brown, Maren Morris, BRELAND, Eric Church and more.

So, how can you watch? Here’s a step-by-step guide via Music Mayhem
