Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic After taking a time-out since 2022, the American Music Awards will return to the air in a new time frame — Memorial Day — as well as from a new city, Las Vegas, and on its new network, CBS.

Dick Clark Productions and the network had teased last fall that the show would return on Memorial Day weekend of this year, but Monday’s announcement solidifies the details, with confirmation that the AMAs will be seen on the actual holiday, May 26, live in all time zones, at 8 p.m.

ET and 5 p.m. PT. Besides its CBS airing, the telecast will also be streamed on Paramount+. No location in Las Vegas has yet been announced, and hosting and other details have yet to be revealed.

The announcement about the show’s airdate said that the Memorial Day holiday berth would not be incidental to the broadcast, indicating a plan for the AMAs to “pay tribute to our country’s troops.” In the streaming realm, Paramount+ with Showtime subscribers will be able to stream the live feed of their local CBS affiliate, as well as access the show on demand.
