After the 2020 Academy of Country Music Awards planned for April in Las Vegas were postponed at the very beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the plan was to instead broadcast the show in September. And that's still the plan. But the ACM announced on Thursday (July 9) their plans for the 2021 awards as well.
