Opry 100: A Live Celebration is a three-hour television concert special to commemorate the 100th birthday of the Grand Ole Opry. Produced by Baz Halpin, Mark Bracco and Linda Gierahn, it aired live from the Grand Ole Opry House on March 19, 2025, on NBC and was streamed simultaneously on Peacock. The show also featured some performances which were pre-recorded at the Ryman Auditorium. The special was hosted by Opry member Blake Shelton, with voiceover from Opry member Scotty McCreery, and featured performances and tributes to the history of the Opry and its contribution to country music. Over 50 of the Opry's 75 living members either performed or were featured in the special, or were in attendance. Red carpet coverage was hosted by Kelly Sutton on E! News, NBC and the Opry's official YouTube channels. The special is part of a series of Opry licensed television productions produced as part of NBC's purchase of a minority stake in the brand in 2022.
