The 2026 CMA Award nominations are out, and we used Booking Agent Info’s music industry database to research the management companies behind this year’s nominees.

Red Light Management leads the count with 7 nominated artists, including reigning Entertainer of the Year winner (and host) Lainey Wilson, Parker McCollum, Riley Green, and Chris Stapleton.

Range Media Partners and Sandbox Entertainment follow with 3 nominees each. Range brings names like breakout star Stephen Wilson Jr. and Midland, while Sandbox represents powerhouse talent such as Kacey Musgraves and Little Big Town.

Next up, with two nominees each, come Make Wake Artists and Q Prime. Make Wake manages Luke Combs and Muscadine Bloodline, while Q Prime guides the careers of Eric Church and Brothers Osborne.

Winners will be revealed live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on November 18.

Nominees without listed management were excluded.
