Where Is The ACM Awards Being Held In 2024?
The 2024 ACM Awards will air live from Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas. This marks the second consecutive year that the show has taken place at the world headquarters of the Dallas Cowboys.
The Ford Center at The Star in Frisco opened its doors in 2016, functioning as the cutting-edge practice facility for the Dallas Cowboys and hosting numerous major sporting events annually. Last year’s ACM Awards marked the inaugural awards show held at the Ford Center.
“Frisco, Texas and The Star District proved to be the perfect new home for the evolution of this Emmy-nominated ‘Party,’ bringing music’s biggest global superstars to the passionate and loyal Texas Country Music fans!” said ACM CEO Damon Whiteside. “We’re thrilled to bring ACM Awards week to life again at the home of America’s Team, the Dallas Cowboys, along with our best-in-class partners at Amazon Prime Video, Amazon Music, Dick Clark Productions and our Executive Producer, Raj Kapoor, to make this year’s show even bigger and better. Fans will certainly want to be there in person to experience all the incredible moments we have in store, and we can’t wait to see everyone in Texas!”
“We all experienced first-hand last year what a perfect fit the Academy of Country Music Awards are with Ford Center at The Star, not only inside for the show, but out and around The Star District and Frisco as well,” said Dallas Cowboys Owner, President and General Manager Jerry Jones. “The stars of country music shine very brightly here in Texas, and we’re honored to be the home of this amazing celebration once again. We can’t wait to host all of the great artists and fans at Country Music’s Party of the Year!”
