The Emmy Awards are making a triumphant return to their traditional Sunday slot, with the 76th edition scheduled for September 15, 2024, at 8 p.m. ET/ 5 p.m. PT on ABC. The announcement was a highlight during ABC’s segment at the Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena.
Following the impact of the Hollywood strikes, the 75th Emmys were shifted to January 15, 2024. Although considered the 2023 Emmys (delayed into 2024), the upcoming ABC telecast in September will officially be the 2024 Emmys. Marking a departure from recent Monday broadcasts, this return to Sunday aligns with the award ceremony’s historical scheduling.
ABC, the host network for the 76th Emmys, last aired the telecast in 2020, amidst the pandemic. This year promises a dynamic event, with nominations set to be announced on July 17. The eligibility period for this Emmy cycle spans June 1, 2023 – May 31, 2024.
The Emmy Awards, known for recognizing excellence in television, will broadcast live across the nation on ABC, also available for streaming on Hulu the next day. The Peacock Theater at L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles will set the stage for this prestigious event. While the host and producers are yet to be unveiled, anticipation is building for another memorable celebration of television achievements.
As the calendar unfolds, key dates include the opening of submissions on February 29, the deadline for Emmy Awards membership applications on April 9, and nominations-round voting kicking off on June 13. The Creative Arts Emmy Awards and Governors Gala are slated for September (exact date to be determined), leading up to the main event on September 15.
Emmys enthusiasts can brace themselves for a star-studded evening celebrating outstanding contributions to the world of television. The return to Sunday broadcasts on ABC adds an exciting dimension to this year’s Emmy Awards, promising a night of glamour, accolades, and memorable moments.
