The Country Music Awards are back, and this year, fans will be treated to performances from some of the world’s most popular artists. The show, which will be hosted by Little Big Town for a second year in a row, airs live on Wednesday, Jun. 5 at 8 p.m. ET on CMT. But if you’re not watching on cable, here’s how to stream The Country Music Awards so you don’t miss out.

There are two ways to stream the event. If you’re tuning in from a computer, you can head to the CMT website to catch a livestream of the show. And if you are watching the ceremony on a mobile device or tablet, you can download the official CMT app from the Apple App Store for Apple devices, or the Google Play Store for Android. But whether it’s via website or app, you’ll need to login with your cable provider information to access the event.

The show airs live from The Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee, and it’s bringing fans power-packed performances from some of the biggest names in country music. In fact, in a recent press release, CMT revealed that this year’s show features a “record-breaking number of performing artists” and will “include additional surprise guests” during the live telecast. Fans will get electrifying performances from Boyz II Men, Brandi Carlile, Brett Young, Keith Urban, Little Big Town, Luke Combs, Sheryl Crow, Tanya Tucker, Trombone Shorty, and the Zac Brown Band, as well as Carrie Underwood, Dan + Shay, Kane Brown, Kelsea Ballerini, and Luke Bryan.
