Prime Video will be the exclusive global home of the Emmy Awards for six years, beginning with the 2027 ceremony.
The awards will stream live and free—no subscription required—in more than 240 countries and territories.
The deal replaces the Television Academy's traditional rotation among broadcast networks ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC.
In a historic first, the Television Academy and Prime Video today announced a landmark six-year deal establishing Prime Video as the exclusive global home of the Emmy Awards, ushering in a bold, innovative vision to propel the cultural icon into its next chapter.
The historic pact succeeds the Television Academy’s traditional “Wheel Deal” rotation among broadcast networks ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC, which concluded with this year's telecast. By shifting from a rotating model to a dedicated, long-term agreement, the Television Academy has secured a permanent home for the gold standard of excellence available to audiences worldwide.
Since their inception in 1949, the Emmy Awards have captured the global imagination, celebrating the stories, creators, and performances that define the cultural zeitgeist. This new alliance ensures that TV’s premier honors will continue to adapt to a changing media landscape, embracing the future of how audiences consume great television.
Beginning with the 2027 ceremony, the star-studded event will continue to anchor the television season by airing live in September. In a major win for entertainment fans, the ceremony will not be behind a paywall; instead, the Emmy Awards will be free to view for audiences worldwide.
Beyond the main event, the six-year agreement transforms the Emmys into a year-round cultural celebration.
