The 78th annual Emmy Awards ceremony took place Monday evening, September 14, 2026, in Hollywood. Law & Order: Special Victims Unit actress Mariska Hargitay served as the event’s host. The main awards show began at 8 p.m. Eastern Time, following the traditional red carpet proceedings earlier in the evening.
Television viewers without cable access had multiple options to stream the ceremony online. NBC, the network broadcasting the event, was available through several streaming platforms including DirecTV, Fubo, and Sling TV. DirecTV and Fubo both offered five-day free trials for new subscribers, allowing audiences to watch without immediate payment. Peacock, NBC’s streaming service, also provided access to the broadcast, though it required a paid subscription without a complimentary trial period.
The 2026 Emmy nominations reflected strong competition across numerous categories. The Pitt led all programs with 25 nominations, while Hacks followed closely with 24. Several other series received significant recognition, including Widow’s Bay and Pluribus with 19 and 18 nominations respectively. Prior to the main ceremony, more than 100 Emmy awards had already been distributed, with Widow’s Bay earning eight victories and Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show performance receiving seven awards.
