Sadie Robertson Huff and Lauren Daigle named hosts for 2026 K-LOVE Fan Awards in Nashville

Event returns to the Grand Ole Opry House on May 24, 2026

Sadie Robertson Huff and Lauren Daigle are set to host the 2026 K-LOVE Fan Awards, a fan-voted celebration centered on contemporary Christian entertainment. Organizers confirmed the show will take place Sunday, May 24, 2026, at Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry House.

The 2026 ceremony is billed as the 13th annual edition of the awards. The event has become a recurring fixture on Nashville’s spring calendar, reflecting the city’s role as a major hub for the faith-based music and media industries.

Who the hosts are and why the pairing matters

Daigle is a Grammy-winning singer whose work has been prominent in contemporary Christian music as well as cross-format mainstream spaces. Robertson Huff is widely known as a Christian speaker and media personality and has built a platform through podcasting, publishing, and live events.

The selection of a recording artist and a non-musician media figure aligns with the K-LOVE Fan Awards’ broader scope. Unlike awards shows focused exclusively on recorded music, the K-LOVE brand has historically positioned the event as encompassing multiple lanes of faith-forward entertainment and public-facing influence.

What the K-LOVE Fan Awards recognize

The awards are structured around fan participation, with categories that have included music as well as recognition tied to books, films and sports-related impact. Programming around the ceremony has also emphasized “weekend” experiences, combining the televised awards show with concerts and other in-person activations for attendees.

• Venue: Grand Ole Opry House, Nashville

• Date: Sunday, May 24, 2026

• Format: fan-voted awards show accompanied by a multi-day slate of related events

Weekend programming and Nashville impact

Organizers have outlined a multi-day schedule around the awards weekend, including concerts and late-night programming tied to the same May 24 anchor date. The broader slate is designed to extend visitor time in the city and concentrate activity in the Opry-area corridor, where large-scale entertainment venues and major resort lodging sit in close proximity.

The 2026 ceremony is positioned as the capstone of a weekend that blends live performances, artist access opportunities, and on-site fan experiences.

What to watch next

Additional details typically expected in the lead-up—such as nominee lists, voting windows, broadcast plans, and performer lineups—were not included in the initial host announcement. Those elements will determine how the 2026 edition compares with prior years in both programming scale and the range of categories emphasized.
