Get ready for the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards, scheduled for September 14, 2026. The esteemed event will emanate from the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, with NBC serving as the primary broadcaster and Peacock offering a live-streamed experience. The decision to host the awards on a Monday night aligns with NBC’s tradition of avoiding direct competition with Sunday Night Football.
Before the main awards gala, the Creative Arts Emmy Awards will be held on September 5th and 6th, acknowledging excellence in various non-performance categories. The eligibility window for contending shows runs from June 1, 2025, to May 31, 2026, with nominations expected to be unveiled in July.
Details regarding the host and production team are yet to be announced. However, the Emmys have demonstrated a robust recovery in viewership, with the 2025 ceremony drawing significantly more eyes than previous years, underscoring the enduring appeal of celebrating top television talent.
