Amazon has announced that Prime Video will become the new home for the Emmy Awards starting in 2027, streaming the ceremony worldwide for free over six years across 240+ countries and territories. This marks the first time the Emmys will have a dedicated broadcaster, ending decades of rotation across ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC, as viewership on traditional TV continues to decline.
Background
Major Hollywood awards shows are increasingly shifting from traditional broadcast television to streaming platforms, reflecting changing viewer habits and declining linear TV ratings across the industry.
