CMA Fest presented by SoFi will celebrate its 52nd year in Nashville, Tennessee from June 5-8, 2025. This year, SoFi is enhancing the fan experience for SoFi Plus members. They'll enjoy exclusive perks, including access to a members-only lounge, presale ticket access to single-night CMA Fest tickets, the VIP Riverfront Retreat experience, and early access to presale tickets for CMA Fest 2026. SoFi debit and credit cardholders can also enjoy 25% cash back rewards on eligible food, drinks, and official merchandise up to $200.

"We're thrilled to partner with CMA and bring to life SoFi's mission of helping people achieve financial independence to realize their ambitions. CMA has a rich legacy of bringing artists and fans together and championing the next generation of country music, making it an incredible platform to introduce more people to SoFi as the next generation of banking and financial services," said Lauren Stafford Webb, CMO at SoFi. "Our partnership will create an unforgettable experience for new and existing SoFi members both live and over broadcast, as we celebrate and reward fans nationwide. Together, we hope to create something that inspires, connects, and encourages people to achieve their ambitions."

"SoFi's commitment to empowering its members at every stage of life aligns naturally with CMA's mission to support and elevate the Country Music community. As we welcome SoFi to CMA Fest in this new capacity, we look forward to working together to enhance the fan experience while celebrating the connections that make Country Music so special," said Sarah Trahern, CEO at the Country Music Association. "Country Music has a unique way of bringing people together across generations, and CMA Fest is a testament to that tradition. Just as CMA is dedicated to serving our members, SoFi's presence at the festival reflects their commitment to those they support, making this an organic and exciting collaboration."

​In 2024, the festival welcomed an estimated 90,000 daily attendees from all 50 states and nearly 50 countries. As part of the multi-channel integration, SoFi will be the presenting broadcast and streaming partner for the "CMA Fest" broadcast special, featuring highlights from the biggest acts in Country Music captured at the festival's Nissan Stadium main stage. The special is scheduled to air on ABC this summer, with streaming available the next day on Hulu; broadcast details will be announced in the coming weeks.

"Music and storytelling are timeless forces that bring people together, and CMA Fest captures that magic. SoFi's involvement will further elevate the festival experience, building on today's vibrant community inspired by live performance," said John Campbell, SVP, Entertainment and Streaming Solutions, Disney Advertising. "As the leader in live and home to the festival for 20 years, this collaboration will further unite generations of music fans through a special shared celebration in anticipation of Country music's biggest night."

CMA Fest joins SoFi's roster of iconic entertainment partnerships as the official bank of the NBA, the official naming rights sponsor of SoFi Stadium, the home of the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers, and recently named the presenting partner of TGL, the new tech-forward, primetime, team golf league developed by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy's TMRW Sports.
