Emmy Awards: Nominations List (Updating)

The 2026 Emmy nominations are being revealed Wednesday morning.

The first two categories — best variety series and reality competition — were revealed on the Today show earlier Wednesday.

Past Emmy winners Liza Colón-Zayas (The Bear) and Jeff Hiller (Somebody Somewhere) will reveal the rest of this year’s Emmy nominees at 830 a.m. PT in a ceremony that will stream live from the TV Academy’s Saban Media Center.

Though the Emmys originally planned to announce this year’s nominees in two batches, with the majority unveiled on July 8 and additional nominees revealed a week later, on July 15, the TV Academy announced that it would be announcing all of this year’s nominees on July 8. The move was designed to better accommodate promotional campaign schedules for Emmy Awards hopefuls.

Mariska Hargitay is set to host the 2026 Emmys, which will air live on NBC and Peacock on Monday, Sept. 14 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. The Creative Arts Emmys, in which the majority of the Emmys trophies are presented, will take place roughly a week earlier, on Saturday, Sept. 5 and Sunday, Sept. 6.

Hargitay is the first Emmys host not primarily known for their comedic work in nearly two decades. But she is an Emmy winner, picking up a trophy in 2006 for her role as Olivia Benson on Law & Order: SVU, the longest-running primetime drama in U.S. TV history, which begins its 28th season on NBC in the fall.

Hargitay is also a 2026 Emmys hopeful, with her 2025 HBO documentary about mother Jayne Mansfield, My Mom Jayne, eligible for this year’s awards.

The top winners at the 2025 Emmys were Adolescence, The Studio and The Pitt.

Read on for a complete list of this year’s Emmy nominees, which will be updated as they’re announced live.
