Bend, OR, October 7, 2026 — The prestigious Emmy Awards ceremony is set to transition from traditional broadcast television to the streaming platform Prime Video. This significant shift in broadcasting rights is scheduled to take effect prior to the 2027 awards show.

The move marks a notable change for the annual event that honors excellence in television programming. For years, the Emmys have been aired on major broadcast networks, providing a wide reach to a traditional television audience. The exact broadcast networks that previously aired the awards were not specified in the provided information.

Prime Video, an online streaming service offered by Amazon, will become the exclusive home for the Emmys ceremony. The specific details of the agreement, including the financial terms, duration of the contract, and the exact date of the transition, were not disclosed. However, it has been confirmed that the change will be implemented before the 2027 ceremony takes place.

This transition to a streaming platform signifies a broader trend within the media industry, as more major awards ceremonies and live events are opting for digital distribution to reach evolving consumer viewing habits. The implications for viewership, accessibility, and the format of the show itself remain to be seen as the 2027 awards approach.

Further details regarding the broadcasting schedule and any potential changes to the ceremony’s presentation on Prime Video are expected to be released closer to the effective date.
