On Monday, September 12, 2022, the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California, will become the center of the universe (at least in the eyes of TV stars and viewers) as the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards takes to the airwaves. Over the course of the night, popular nominated TV shows in a variety of awards categories will be vying for the golden trophy and honor of being seen as one of the most decorated titles on the small screen over the course of the past year.
With a mixture of broadcast and cable shows like Better Call Saul and Succession and streaming series like Stranger Things and Severance each nominated for several of the night’s biggest awards, it should come as no surprise that the 74th Emmy Awards will be available to watch on both traditional TV setups and streaming. And so, with not much time before the festivities kick off, now seems like a good time as any to break down how to watch TV’s biggest night of the year…
How To Watch The 74th Emmy Awards On TV
First, let’s take care of the traditional way to watch the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards on TV. The show is scheduled to hit the airwaves at 8 p.m. ET Monday, September 12, and can be watched on NBC.

Who’s Hosting The 2022 Emmys?
Dating back to the 2002 Emmys, each NBC broadcast has been hosted by someone with some kind of connection to Saturday Night Live, with the most recent duties being handled by Michael Che and Colin Jost back in 2018. It will be no different this year, as longtime SNL mainstay Kenan Thompson has been picked to serve as the host for the first time in his long and storied career.
Throughout the night, some of the entertainment industry’s biggest names will take part in the ceremony as presenters. According to Deadline, this list includes familiar faces like Angela Bassett, Seth Meyers, Ariana DeBose, Jimmy Kimmel, Jean Smart, Will Arnett, and multiple others.
The 74th Primetime Emmy Awards air live Monday, September 12 on NBC and streaming on Peacock. Don’t forget to check out the 2022 TV schedule so you don’t miss any of the shows that could be nominated at next year’s Emmys.
