NBC Sets 78th Primetime Emmys for Monday, Sept. 14, 2026

The Monday slot reflects NBC’s move to avoid a clash with Sunday Night Football.

Overview

  • The ceremony will air live coast to coast on NBC and stream on Peacock at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
  • The Creative Arts Emmy Awards are scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 5 and Sunday, Sept. 6, 2026.
  • NBC has not announced a host or producing team, with nominations expected on the Television Academy’s typical July timetable covering shows from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2026.
  • This telecast is expected to be the last under the current multi-network “wheel” deal, and reporting indicates new broadcast-rights talks have opened without visible momentum.
  • After a ratings low in 2023, viewership rebounded, with the 2025 Emmys drawing about 7.4–7.6 million viewers.
