The 2026 Emmy Nominees

The biggest morning in television has officially arrived, as the Television Academy unveiled the nominees for the 78th annual Primetime Emmy Awards.

This year’s winners will be celebrated on Monday, September 14, 2026, a move that had to happen due to NBC's NFL schedule of Sunday Night Football.

The ceremony will be held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles and hosted by network legend Mariska Hargitay.

Let's dive into the nominees.
