Emmy Awards to Move Exclusively to Amazon Prime Video Starting in 2027
Amazon's Prime Video has secured an exclusive six-year deal beginning in 2027 to stream the Emmy Awards globally, marking a significant shift from its traditional broadcast rotation among ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC. The Emmys will be available live and free for all users across more than 240 countries without requiring a Prime subscription. This move reflects broader industry trends as streaming platforms increasingly capture major entertainment events previously dominated by cable and broadcast networks. The Television Academy cited the growing global reach of television and the need to expand access, calling Prime Video its 'permanent home' for future ceremonies. The decision aligns with similar moves in Hollywood, such as YouTube's upcoming rights to the Oscars starting in 2029 and Netflix’s exclusive coverage of the SAG Awards since 2024.
