The 78th Primetime Emmy Awards will honor the best in American prime time television programming from June 1, 2025, until May 31, 2026, as chosen by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. [1] The awards ceremony will be held live on September 14, 2026, at the Peacock Theater in Downtown Los Angeles, California, and will be preceded by the 78th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards on September 5 and 6. It will be broadcast in the United States by NBC and Peacock. [2] [3] [4] The nominations will be announced on July 8, 2026. [4]

As usual, to avoid a conflict with the network's broadcast of NBC Sunday Night Football , the event has been moved to a Monday night, instead of a Sunday, since it is NBC's turn to air the awards ceremony. [2]

This year, the Television Academy will present a new major award, a first in nearly 20 years, with the creation of the Legacy Award, which will be presented annually to television programs that have made a "profound and lasting impact" on audiences and remain relevant to culture, society and the industry.
