The Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA) has thrilling news for fans across the country, officially announcing that Country Music Week 2026 will take place in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, from September 16th to 19th. Canada’s biggest night in country music, the 2026 CCMA Awards, will close out the massive weekend at the SaskTel Centre on Saturday, September 19th. The awards show will be available exclusively on CTV, CTV.ca, and the CTV app, and streaming the following day on Crave, ensuring every fan can join the celebration.
This announcement marks a highly anticipated return to Saskatoon after a nine-year absence. Country Music Week 2026 and the 2026 CCMA Awards will once again shine a national spotlight on the City of Bridges—a community highly celebrated for its vibrant arts scene, deep musical roots, and famously warm prairie hospitality. Located beautifully along the South Saskatchewan River, Saskatoon is well-known for successfully mixing small-town charm with appealing urban sophistication, offering visitors an exciting and deeply immersive experience across its historic Broadway Avenue and thriving Riversdale district.
This event solidifies Saskatchewan’s role as a major hub for the genre, as it marks the sixth time the province has hosted Country Music Week, and the third time Saskatoon has welcomed the CCMA specifically. Over four memorable days of connection, collaboration, and country music, artists, industry professionals, and fans from across Canada will gather to celebrate the very best in Canadian country music talent. The successful hosting of this year’s event is made possible through the enthusiastic support of the City of Saskatoon, Discover Saskatoon, Saskatoon Destination Marketing Hotels (SDMH), the Government of Saskatchewan, and the dedicated 2026 Host Committee.
The 2026 CCMA Awards will deliver a spectacular evening of powerful live performances and unforgettable country music moments, cementing its status as the absolute highlight of Country Music Week 2026. Additional announcements will be shared in the months ahead, and fans are encouraged to sign up here to receive exclusive updates, breaking news, and early access to presale codes when tickets go live.
