Another year, another Emmy nomination morning.
The 2026 Emmy Awards nominations are nearly upon us, with the Television Academy set to announce their slate of nominees recognized the best in television from the last year.
There are a few shows that will surely be named among this year’s lineup. “Hacks,” a one-time winner for Outstanding Comedy Series and four-time winner for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series (Jean Smart), should be well represented. “The Pitt” returns to contention for its second season after its big wins last year, making it another surefire player. “Beef” likewise seems like a strong contender for its second season in the Limited Series/Anthology division.
But there are still plenty of unknowns. How will buzzy new players like “Widow’s Bay,” “Margo’s Got Money Troubles” and “Task” perform on their first seasons? Where will past winners like “Stranger Things” and “Euphoria” be recognized for their post-hiatus finales? What contenders will come out of left field to be the morning’s big surprises?
To learn that, you’ll have to tune into nominations tomorrow morning. Here’s how.
What time are the 2026 Emmy nominations announced?
