Emmy Awards to move to Prime Video in 2027 in 6-year deal between Amazon and the Television Academy
The Emmy Awards are moving to Prime Video starting in 2027. Amazon and the Television Academy have struck a six-year deal, ending the ceremony's seven-decade run on traditional broadcast networks.
The Emmys officially have a new rights holder. Amazon has closed its deal with the Television Academy, as previewed last month, and it's a significant pact. The partnership gives Prime Video the right to stream the annual television ceremony for the next six years and is thought to be worth north of $120M in total.
Amazon has agreed to promote the show to its millions of international subscribers and also make it available for free to non-Prime Video customers.
The Emmys will be available to watch in over 240 countries globally, starting in 2027, on Prime Video without any fee.
The Emmy Awards are headed to Amazon Prime Video, ending the ceremony’s decades-long rotation among the broadcast television networks.
