The Emmy Awards are headed to Amazon Prime Video, ending the ceremony’s decades-long rotation among the broadcast television networks.
Under a six-year deal announced Tuesday morning, the Emmys will exclusively stream on Prime Video beginning in September 2027. Viewers will be able to watch for free, without a subscription.
The agreement replaces the arrangement under which ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC took turns airing television’s biggest awards show. It follows last year’s announcement that the Oscars will leave ABC for YouTube beginning in 2029.
“Television has never been more global, and the Emmys should be a celebration that the world can share,” Cris Abrego, chair of the Television Academy, said in a statement. “Now Prime Video audiences in more than 200 countries will be able to experience the Emmys live with no subscription required.”
The move ends a broadcast network run stretching back to 1955, when NBC first aired the Emmys nationally. NBC also carried this year’s ceremony, the last under the rotating agreement.
Final audience numbers for the 2026 Emmys showed 6.8 million viewers, down 10% from the previous year. Amazon and the Television Academy said the partnership would include new ways for fans to engage with the show throughout the year, though they did not detail those plans.
The agreement gives Prime Video another marquee live event as streaming platforms compete for viewers. In addition to the YouTube Oscars deal, Disney will begin carrying the Grammy Awards across ABC, Hulu and Disney+ starting next year.

艾美奖颁奖典礼将移师亚马逊Prime Video播出，结束了该颁奖典礼在各大电视网之间长达数十年的轮换播出模式。
根据周二上午宣布的一项为期六年的协议，艾美奖颁奖典礼将从2027年9月起在亚马逊Prime Video独家播出。观众无需订阅即可免费观看。
该协议取代了此前ABC、CBS、Fox和NBC轮流播出电视史上最重要颁奖典礼的安排。此前，ABC已于去年宣布，奥斯卡颁奖典礼将于2029年起从ABC移至YouTube播出。
“电视从未像现在这样全球化，艾美奖应该成为全世界共同庆祝的盛事，”电视艺术与科学学院主席克里斯·阿布雷戈在一份声明中表示。“现在，超过200个国家的亚马逊Prime Video用户无需订阅即可观看艾美奖直播。”
此举结束了自1955年以来NBC电视台对艾美奖的转播历史。当年NBC首次在全美范围内播出艾美奖颁奖典礼。今年的颁奖典礼也是NBC转播的，这是双方轮流转播协议下的最后一届。
2026年艾美奖的最终收视人数为680万，比上一年下降了10%。亚马逊和电视艺术与科学学院表示，此次合作将包括让粉丝在全年参与节目互动的新方式，但他们并未透露具体细节。
这项协议为亚马逊Prime Video增添了又一项重量级直播活动，助力流媒体平台在争夺观众方面再创佳绩。除了与YouTube达成奥斯卡颁奖典礼的合作协议外，迪士尼还将从明年开始在ABC、Hulu和Disney+上播出格莱美颁奖典礼。
