But here’s where it gets exciting: this year’s lineup is packed with powerhouse performances, special appearances, and moments that will leave you in awe. Tune in Friday, October 10th, 2025, at 7:30pm and 10:00pm ET via https://doveawards.com/how-to-watch to catch all the action live. Can’t make it? No worries—the broadcast will re-air Friday, October 17th, at the same times, giving you a second chance to experience the magic.
Now, let’s talk about the performances—because this is where things get truly special. Imagine hearing Brandon Lake and Jelly Roll share the stage, or CeCe Winans delivering a soul-stirring rendition of her latest hit. Elevation Worship and for KING + COUNTRY will bring their signature energy, while Fred Hammond teams up with The Choir Room for a collaboration that’s sure to be unforgettable. And that’s just the beginning! Lauren Daigle, Lecrae, and Tamela Mann are also set to perform, alongside rising stars like Josiah Queen and Leanna Crawford.
But here’s where it gets controversial: the Latin performance segment. Featuring Israel & New Breed and Unified Sound, this multi-artist showcase includes heavyweights like Alex Campos, Christine D’Clario, and Ingrid Rosario. It’s a bold move to spotlight Latin Christian music on such a grand stage—do you think it’s a step in the right direction, or should the focus remain on English-language artists? Let us know in the comments!
And this is the part most people miss: the special Opry 100 performance. Legends like Lady A, Steven Curtis Chapman, and Vince Gill will come together for a tribute that’s as historic as it is heartfelt. Plus, don’t forget the presenters—a star-studded list including Candace Cameron Bure, Chris Tomlin, and Milo Ventimiglia, who’ll keep the evening flowing with charm and wit.
Speaking of stars, keep an eye out for special appearances from Colton Dixon, Joel Courtney, and John O'Leary, adding even more sparkle to the night.
