when are the emmys over

The Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony usually runs about 3 hours from its scheduled start time, including speeches and transitions, and tends to wrap up around 11 p.m. local time in the U.S. broadcast window.

For example, the 2025 Emmys broadcast was scheduled to start at 8 p.m. Eastern on a Sunday night, which means viewers could reasonably expect it to be over close to 11 p.m. Eastern if it follows the typical 3‑hour awards‑show pattern.
