The list of presenters are just as star-studded, including not only country's best and brightest, but also the USA Olympics gymnastics team, popularly known as The Final Five, and actress Jennifer Garner, amongst many others.

So if you don't have a TV and are worried about missing out on what's sure to be an amazing show, here's how you can stream the big event.

Stream The Red Carpet

Although watching the red carpet isn't quite the same as watching the actual show itself, it's still pretty darn close. Thankfully, AT&T offers an exclusive online stream of the carpet beginning at 6:30 p.m. ET. You don't even have to log in or anything. Just click the link and watch. It's that simple. Alternatively you can also watch a live stream of the red carpet on Taste of Country, which will be hosted by Taste of Country Nights host Sam Alex and singer Tara Thompson.

ABC Has It's Own Live Stream

If you have a cable subscription (or know someone who does) you can watch ABC's live stream service online. All you have to do is log in with a cable provider and you're all set. Unfortunately, ABC live stream isn't available in every city, but it is available in most so give it a try.

When In Doubt, Tweet It Out

OK, so this isn't technically streaming the award show, but following the events on Twitter is really the next best thing and still make you feel like you're part of the action. Plus, you can always rely on others to post clips of the night's performances, allowing you to still catch the highlights everyone will be talking about the next morning.

But however you choose to watch, make sure to tune into to the CMA Awards on Wednesday, Nov. 2 at 8 p.m. ET. This is one night of music you don't want to miss.
