Emmy nominations to be announced live on July 8

The Television Academy said the complete slate of 2026 Emmy nominations will be revealed on July 8 during a live broadcast from the Wolf Theatre at its Saban Media Center. The ceremony will begin at 8:30 a.m. PT (11:30 a.m. ET) and will be streamed on the Academy’s website and YouTube channel.

Actors Liza Colón-Zayas, known for "The Bear," and Jeff Hiller of "Somebody Somewhere" will serve as presenters for the announcement. Earlier that day, nominees in the best variety series and reality competition categories were disclosed on NBC’s "Today" show.

The Academy adjusted its schedule, consolidating the nominations into a single release to better align with promotional campaigns for the contenders. Executive awards editor Scott Feinberg has released his final predictions for the 63 categories ahead of the official announcement.

Last year’s ceremony highlighted several milestones, including Owen Cooper becoming the youngest acting Emmy winner for his role in "Adolescence," and multiple series earning top honors across comedy, drama, and limited-series categories.
