Detroit, MI, October 6, 2026 — The prestigious Emmy Awards ceremony is scheduled to transition from broadcast television to Amazon’s Prime Video platform beginning in 2027. This significant shift follows a newly established six-year agreement between the Television Academy and Amazon, which will make Prime Video the exclusive long-term host for the annual event.
This move marks the conclusion of the Emmy Awards’ seven-decade tradition of airing on traditional broadcast networks. For generations, the ceremony has been a staple of network television, celebrating excellence in the television industry. The new partnership aims to provide a stable and dedicated home for the awards for years to come.
Despite the relocation to a streaming service, the Emmy Awards will remain accessible to viewers without a subscription fee. Amazon has confirmed that the ceremony will continue to be free to watch, ensuring its broad accessibility for the public.
The six-year deal is set to commence in 2027, signaling a new era for the awards show. Further details regarding the broadcast specifics, including potential red carpet coverage or supplementary content available through Prime Video, have not yet been disclosed.
