where to watch emmys

The Primetime Emmy Awards air on different channels and streamers depending on the year and your country, but the 2026 ceremony (78th Emmys) is set for Monday, September 14, 2026 , live from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.

Where to watch in the U.S.

For 2026 , the main options are:

  • NBC – The Emmys will air live coast‑to‑coast on NBC at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.
  • Peacock – NBC’s streaming service will carry a live stream of the ceremony at the same time.

If you’re a cord‑cutter, you can also use a live‑TV streaming service that includes NBC (such as YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, or Fubo), then watch the Emmys via their apps or web players.

Where to watch outside the U.S.

Broadcasters vary by region; here are a few examples from recent years (check local listings for 2026):

  • Canada : Often on CTV or a CTV‑affiliated channel, sometimes simulcast with NBC.
  • Australia : Past Emmys have aired on ARENA and BINGE.
  • UK / Europe : Services like M‑Net (Africa) , Movistar+ (Spain) , and various cable/satellite channels carry the show on a slight delay.

Some international viewers use Paramount+ with SHOWTIME (where available) to stream the Emmys live via the local CBS affiliate feed, though this depends on regional rights.
