Brooks & Dunn have spent more than three decades building one of country music’s most successful careers. And at the 2026 CMA Awards, the legendary duo could add another milestone to an already record-setting résumé.
Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn currently hold the record for the most competitive CMA Awards wins in history, with 20. They’re nominated for Vocal Duo of the Year at this year’s ceremony, giving them a chance to bring that total to 21.
The potential victory would extend a record the pair have built over decades of hit songs, tours and awards-show appearances.
Brooks & Dunn first joined forces in 1990 and quickly became one of country music’s defining duos. Their catalog includes enduring hits such as “Boot Scootin’ Boogie,” “Neon Moon,” “My Maria” and “Believe.” According to the Country Music Association, they’ve earned 20 No. 1 hits, more than 60 charted singles and over 30 million albums sold worldwide.
Their CMA history is just as impressive.
Of their 20 competitive wins, 16 have come in the Vocal Duo of the Year category, where they’ve established another record.
A win on Nov. 18 would push that total to 17.
The duo will be celebrated at this year’s ceremony for another reason, too. Brooks & Dunn are set to receive the CMA Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award, which recognizes artists whose influence and contributions have made a lasting impact on country music.
The honor will come with a special musical tribute featuring Brothers Osborne, Luke Bryan, Halestorm, HARDY and Marcus King.
The lifetime achievement award is separate from the competitive awards tally, so it won’t add to the duo’s record of 20 CMA wins. But with another Vocal Duo of the Year nomination, Brooks & Dunn have a chance to make their record even harder to catch.
The 60th Annual CMA Awards will air live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 18, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+, with the show available on Hulu the following day.
