The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced that the Emmy Awards will move from traditional broadcast television to Amazon Prime Video in 2027, ending a 70‑year partnership with NBC.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences confirmed that starting with the 2027 ceremony, the Emmy Awards will be streamed exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. The move marks the end of the long‑running partnership with NBC, which had broadcast the awards since 1955.
The decision follows a broader trend of premium content migrating to streaming platforms. Industry analysts say the shift could bring a larger, more global audience and new sponsorship opportunities, while also raising questions about accessibility for viewers without Prime subscriptions.
The Academy has not yet disclosed the exact format or date for the 2027 ceremony, but it is expected to retain its traditional categories and live broadcast elements. Viewers and industry insiders are watching closely as the transition could reshape how the television community celebrates excellence.
