The 76th Primetime Emmy Awards will take place on September 15th, 2024 at 8pm ET/5pm PT.
This will be the TV-centric awards show’s second ceremony this year after 2023’s was held in January following a strike-related delay. As such, shows released during the June 1st, 2023 to May 31st, 2024 window will be eligible for awards this weekend.
Notably, Canada’s own Eugene and Dan Levy (Schitt’s Creek) will host the 76th Primetime Emmys.
How to watch
Canadians interested in tuning in have a few options. Since Bell continues to hold the Canadian rights to the show, those who still have cable can tune in on CTV2. Additionally, you can stream the Emmys on CTV.ca or through the CTV app on Android, iOS and on connected TV devices.
