CMA Fest 2022: When will country concert special be on TV? Here's how to watch

After two summers off due to COVID-19, CMA Fest returned to Nashville in June for four nights full of country music hits and one-of-a-kind performances.

Unlike other major festivals making a comeback this summer, fans at home didn't find buzzed-about CMA Fest streaming online in real-time. Instead, the show airs Wednesday as a primetime network TV special.

How to watch

The show runs Aug. 3 at 7 p.m. on ABC.

Show producers filmed performances in front of festival-goers at Nissan Stadium.
