NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Christian music's biggest fan-voted night of the year is almost here - and if you haven't cast your vote yet, the clock is running.
The 13th Annual K-LOVE Fan Awards takes place Sunday, May 24, 2026, at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, Tennessee, with the full Fan Awards Weekend running from Friday, May 22 through Sunday, May 24. The show will air exclusively on Trinity Broadcasting Network on Friday, May 29, at 7:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. ET, with an encore on June 5.
New hosts. Big moment.
For the first time ever, Lauren Daigle and Sadie Robertson Huff are joining forces to host the show. Fellow Louisiana natives and K-LOVE Fan Award winners themselves, the pair bring a natural chemistry to the stage - and for Daigle, it marks her first time assuming co-hosting duties despite being a nine-time winner and the most awarded female in K-LOVE Fan Awards history.
What's happening across the weekend
The Fan Awards Weekend is more than just one night. The Friday night kickoff concert is headlined by CAIN, with featured performances from Leanna Crawford, Colton Dixon, and Ben Fuller. The Songwriters Showcase will be hosted by Steven Curtis Chapman, joined by Andrew Ripp, Terrian, and Matthew West. Sunday morning closes out the weekend with a worship service featuring Josh Baldwin, Pat Barrett, and Zahriya Zachary.
Why the fan vote matters
Unlike other awards shows, winners at the K-LOVE Fan Awards are chosen entirely by public vote - weighted by the fans and K-LOVE - making every click count. Last year's top winners included Brandon Lake for Artist of the Year and Male Artist of the Year, For King & Country for Group of the Year, and CeCe Winans for Female Artist of the Year.
Voting is open now at klovefanawards.com - and with the show just 18 days out, this is the week to make your voice heard.
For the Christian community worldwide, the K-LOVE Fan Awards isn't just an industry moment - it's a celebration of the music that carries people through their hardest days and their best ones. Whoever wins this year, the room at the Opry House will be full of people who believe that faith-filled music still matters.
