The 2026 Emmy nominations full list is finally here, with the Television Academy revealing the shows, stars and creative teams in contention for television’s biggest prize ahead of the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards, which will take place on 14 September 2026 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Hosted by Mariska Hargitay and airing on NBC and Peacock, this year’s ceremony celebrates another standout year across drama, comedy, limited series, reality television and documentaries.

It sets the stage for one of the most competitive Emmy races in recent memory.
