Alan Jackson’s final Nashville concert will air December 8 on NBC and stream the next day on Peacock with an all-star country lineup.

Alan Jackson’s final concert is headed to television. Alan Jackson: The Last Show will air December 8 from 8 to 10 p.m. ET/PT on NBC, followed by a streaming release on Peacock the next day.

A farewell built around the songs

The special was recorded during Jackson’s sold-out farewell performance at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium in late June. The night closed a touring career that stretched across nearly four decades and turned songs such as “Chattahoochee,” “Remember When” and “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” into country standards.

Jackson did not handle the goodbye alone. The concert brought together a large group of country performers, including Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, Luke Combs, Eric Church, Lainey Wilson, Cody Johnson, Thomas Rhett and Little Big Town. George Strait also joined Jackson for “Designated Drinker” and “Murder on Music Row,” giving the event a collaboration between two of the genre’s most recognizable voices.

The broadcast will give fans who could not attend the Nashville show a complete prime-time window rather than a short highlight package. It also extends the farewell beyond the stadium audience, pairing a traditional network premiere with next-day streaming access.

The concert will continue as a live album

Music from the performance is also being prepared for the live album The Last Show: One More for the Road – The Finale (Live from Nashville). The album is expected shortly before the television special, creating a second way to revisit the set and Jackson’s catalog.

Sam Wrench directed the production. His recent concert-film work includes Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, making him a familiar choice for translating a large stadium performance to the screen. Joan of Arc StudioWorks and EverWonder Studio produced the special.

Jackson retired from regular touring after publicly discussing Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a degenerative nerve condition that can affect mobility. The Nashville performance was therefore framed not simply as another tour stop, but as a deliberate final show. Its December broadcast now turns that personal farewell into a national television event.
