NBC announced it will film Alan Jackson's final live performance and package it as a primetime special titled Alan Jackson: The Last Show, to air on the network later in 2026 and stream the next day on Peacock. The network said the telecast will honor Jackson's long career as he takes the stage one last time.
The performances themselves are set for Nashville's Nissan Stadium: Jackson is scheduled to perform his final concert on June 27, and a June 29 event at the same venue is being billed as Last Call: One More for the Road — The Finale. Tickets for the concerts are sold out.
The TV special will draw on more than three decades of Jackson's hits and is directed by Sam Wrench. Production credits list Joan of Arc StudioWorks and EverWonder Studios. Producers say the hour will place Jackson's catalog and long-running popularity at the center of the broadcast.
The farewell weekend is being promoted as a star-studded sendoff: the concert is advertised with participation from 17 artists, including Lainey Wilson, George Strait, Luke Combs, Cody Johnson, Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Miranda Lambert, Riley Green, Little Big Town, Carrie Underwood, Jake Owen, Jon Pardi, Thomas Rhett and Lee Ann Womack. NBC’s announcement, however, made no explicit mention of which guest performers will be included in the network telecast.
That absence is the key unresolved question for fans who cannot attend the sold-out stadium shows. Promoters have billed 17 participants for the live farewell, but the network has not confirmed whether it will carry every onstage guest or how much of the two nights will be condensed for a primetime run.
Jackson announced in 2021 that he has been managing Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and said he is stepping away from touring to address the condition. The televised special will frame the concerts as a career-spanning farewell, drawing from material Jackson has released since the 1990s and through the 2000s.
Practical viewing details are straightforward: the program will air on NBC later in 2026, with Peacock streaming the show the following day. The network’s version is positioned as the definitive broadcast record of the final performance, while the live stadium events are already sold out and will proceed as scheduled in late June.
For viewers and fans, the immediate stakes are schedule and access: if you want to see Jackson in person, tickets are gone; if you want to see a curated, national presentation of his farewell, mark a slot later in 2026 for Alan Jackson: The Last Show on NBC and Peacock the next day.
The outstanding issue is simple and consequential: which of the 17 billed performers will appear in the televised special. NBC has kept its lineup quiet so far; whether the network will present the full roster, a trimmed selection, or exclusive performances remains unconfirmed. Expect the network to clarify that list as it promotes the special ahead of its 2026 air date.
