The Television Academy has locked in the 2026 date for the Emmy Awards : September 14, 2026. Eagle-eyed fans will notice that the new date, however, is a Monday, a marked difference for the annual award show, which has traditionally taken place on a Sunday, similar to other big ceremonies such as the Oscars , Golden Globes, and BAFTA.

The new date will bring challenges for studios, talent., and press, however, the move comes for NBCUniversal to avoid a conflict with their highly rated Sunday Night Football. Instead, the ceremony will clash with ABC's Monday Night Football . The 2026 Emmys will once again be held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, and will air live on NBC and stream live on Peacock at 8pm ET/5pm PT.
