How to Stream the 2019 Emmys Ceremony Live Online

The Primetime Emmys are a bit of an outlier among the big awards show in that the broadcast tends to rotate between each of the big networks every year. This year it’s Fox’s turn — the network hasn’t carried the Emmys since Andy Samberg hosted back in 2015.

This time around, the ceremony won’t have any host, as the Fox broadcast will follow in the footsteps of this year’s Oscars — which went without a host after pulling Keven Hart over past homophobic comments he had made. After that hostless ceremony went surprisingly well, the Emmys decided to try it out for themselves.

So that’s where we are as we head into the ceremony on Sunday, Sept. 22. As mentioned, the Emmys will air on Fox starting at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, and the only “free” option for watching will be catching the network over the air. Otherwise, you can watch the ceremony through the now-ubiquitous set of streaming and traditional cable options.

If you want to stream the Emmys on Fox you’ll have a number of different ways to do it. First, you can head over to Fox.com, where you can stream a live feed of the channel in your browser. You will need credentials from an eligible TV provider to view the stream, however.

You can also use Fox’s suite of apps for mobile devices of all types and other streaming devices — like the Apple TV and Roku — to stream the broadcast live. But, again, you’ll need a TV provider login for that.

And, of course, you’ve got the array of streaming equivalents to tradition cable: Sling, Hulu with Live TV, Fubo, AT&T TV Now and the like. Any of those services that carry Fox where you live will allow you to stream the Emmys ceremony live like it would any other channel. But those services are not free. Most of them do, however, include a free trial if you’ve never signed up with them before, so you could try that if you want to stream for free.

And that’s everything you need to know about how to stream this year’s edition of the Emmys. If you also want to get in on the red carpet action ahead of the ceremony, we’ve got good news. There are multiple red carpet shows you can check out, and a couple of them are completely free and don’t require any kind of TV provider to use. You can read all about those options right here.

10 Notable Emmy Hosting Teams: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Photos)

Because they co-host the “Weekend Update” segment on “Saturday Night Live,” it makes perfect sense for Colin Jost and Michael Che to host the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards together on Sept. 17. But over the last 20 years, this will be only the third time the Emmys have used more than one host, even though two or more hosts were the norm in the show’s first half-century. Here are 10 other notable hosting teams, some that make perfect sense and some that don’t.
1952: Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz

Lucy and Desi were clearly the first couple of television in its early days, so it was natural that they’d be co-hosts only the fourth time the Emmys were handed out – a show on which their show “I Love Lucy” also won the top comedy award.

1962: David Brinkley, Johnny Carson and Bob Newhart

Why three hosts? Because the 1962 show took place simultaneously in three locations: Los Angeles (Newhart), New York (Carson) and Washington, D.C. (Brinkley).

1968: Frank Sinatra and Dick Van Dyke

Sinatra handled the L.A. show, Van Dyke the N.Y. one, and they had one thing in common in 1968: They both barely survived a snafu-ridden Emmys show.

1976: Mary Tyler Moore and John Denver

Mary Tyler Moore had been a TV icon for more than a decade, and the night she hosted in 1976 her show would win five top awards. So why saddle her with a country-pop singer who was criticized for saying “far out!” too much? Only the TV Academy knows.

1980: Steve Allen and Dick Clark

Allen famously hated rock ‘n’ roll; Clark popularized it on “American Bandstand.” But they were both TV icons, so that was good enough.

1983: Eddie Murphy and Joan Rivers

By the standards of the time, “Saturday Night Live” cast member Murphy and “Tonight Show” regular Rivers were pretty rude and transgressive comics – and they didn’t disappoint on Emmy night, delivering the bawdiest (and, some thought, most offensive) Emmys ever.

1986: Shelley Long and David Letterman

Letterman was only in his third year as a late-night host, while Long was already on her fourth nomination for her role in “Cheers.” But the show was on NBC and they were two of the network’s biggest stars, so they became co-hosts.

1990: Candice Bergen, Jay Leno and Jane Pauley

Bergen played a Pauley-like newswoman on “Murphy Brown,” and Leno was the change of pace in the middle of a three-hour show in which each of the hosts handled duties for an hour.

1995: Jason Alexander and Cybill Shepherd

Alexander was in the sixth year of the comedy series “Seinfeld,” Shepherd in the first year of her series “Cybill.” One of those shows would go on to be iconic, and the other wouldn't.

2008: Tom Bergeron, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, Jeff Probst and Ryan Seacrest

“It sounded like a good idea,” Probst told TheWrap of the ill-fated plan to put the five nominees in the reality-host category in charge of the Emmys. “[We] were supposed to be the best hosts, and yet we did the worst hosting in the history of the Emmys.”

From Lucy and Desi to those reality-show hosts, the Emmys have both soared and stumbled when enlisting more than one host
