Tom Green gets the nod to host CCMA Awards in Kelowna

The biggest night in Canadian country music now has a host.

Offbeat Canadian funny man Tom Green has gotten the nod to serve as host for the 2025 Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA) Awards in Kelowna this year.

The annual awards show, broadcasting live from Prospera Place for the first time ever, will air at 5 pm PT on Saturday, Sept. 13.

It will be the grand finale of the four-day Country Music Week 2025, and Green says he’s honoured to be hosting the show.

“Country music has always been a big part of my life growing up in Canada,” he explained. “I can’t wait to be part of this celebration and to bring a few surprises to the stage in Kelowna.”

The 2025 CCMA Awards, which are presented by TD, will also feature a heavy-hitting lineup of performers and presenters, with a full list of involved country stars set to be released soon.

CCMA President Amy Jeninga says the organization is “beyond excited” to have Green on board as the host of this year’s awards show.

“His bold creativity and deep Canadian roots make him the perfect choice to lead a show that celebrates connection, community and world-class entertainment,” she noted.

“With Tom at the helm, and a powerhouse lineup of performers, we’re confident Kelowna is in for a night to remember.”
