The Country Music Association Awards are presented annually by the Country Music Association (CMA) to honor outstanding achievement in country music. The 60th Annual Country Music Association Awards are currently scheduled for November 18, 2026. This market will resolve according to the listed musician who wins the 60th Annual Country Music Association Award for Musician of the Year. If a listed musician is not officially nominated for the Country Music Association Award for Musician of the Year when the 2026 nominees are announced, the corresponding market will immediately resolve to "No". In case of a tie for the winner, this market will resolve in favor of the tied winning musician whose listed last name comes first in alphabetical order. If, for any reason, no winner is declared by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other". The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the CMA Awards and the Country Music Association, including data from their website (e.g., https://cmaawards.com/) and the live broadcast of the award ceremony; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Nominations announced September 10 established a tight five-way race for CMA Musician of the Year 2026, with traders treating Charlie Worsham and Paul Franklin as near co-favorites on the strength of their recent victories and broad session credits. Worsham, the 2024 winner and versatile guitarist, benefits from ongoing touring and production work, while Franklin, who finally broke through after decades of nods to claim the 2025 trophy on steel guitar, carries strong voter familiarity. Jenee Fleenor trails on her three prior wins and fiddle prominence, though guitarists Tom Bukovac and Rob McNelley remain competitive through consistent high-profile credits. Voting by CMA’s musician and producer members rewards sustained industry respect over single-year flash, and the November 18 ceremony in Nashville will resolve the outcome amid typical late-campaign momentum shifts.
