Watching on a television
Because Prime Video was the primary streaming destination, viewers could use the Prime Video app on a smart TV or a compatible streaming device. A Fire TV Stick is one way to put Prime Video on a television, but buying a device was not necessary to access the free ACM livestream. If you are using a TV device, open the Prime Video app, search for the ACM Awards, and check whether the complete replay—not only clips or related programming—is listed.
