Are you experiencing extreme FOMO after missing out on CMA Fest back in June? We might be able to help. You saw all the Instagram posts of your favorite country artists performing in Nissan Stadium, and obviously wished you were there. We can't turn back time, but you do have another chance to stream these live performances from your own home!

The 49th CMA Fest had a star-studded line-up including Thomas Rhett, Carrie Underwood, Kelsea Ballerini, Luke Combs, Zac Brown Band, Jason Aldean, and so many more. The four-day festival was condensed into a three-hour special, so fans could relive the concert experience or experience it for the first time. The special premiered on ABC August 3, and was hosted by Dierks Bentley and Elle King.

It had a total of 30 performances, including special duets. Zac Brown Band and Darius Rucker team up to perform "Chicken Fried," Dierks and Billy Ray Cyrus sang "Achy Breaky Heart" and Lady A and Breland performed "Need You Now."

If you didn't tune in on August 3, there are a few ways you can watch it after-the-fact.

How to rewatch and stream the CMA Fest 2022:

If you have cable, you can watch the show on the ABC app or the ABC website. If your cable provider is DirectTV, dish, Mediacom, Spectrum, or Xfinity, log into ABC with those credentials, and you're all set.

If you cut the cord on cable, like so many, there are also some streaming options. The full CMA Fest special is available to watch on Hulu, YouTubeTV, fuboTV, and DirectTV streaming. If you don't want to add a new streaming service to your tab, Hulu offers a free trial.

If watching on TV didn't cure your FOMO, tickets for next year's CMA Fest are on sale now!
