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.

Live in downtown Los Angeles will set the stage for this prestigious event.
