How to Watch the Emmy Awards Live Stream with NBC

NBC is airing this year's Primetime Emmys, but that doesn't mean you need an antenna or cable subscription to watch. Cord cutters have several options to stream the whole ceremony online.

NBC.com

If you're stuck at your computer or have a laptop handy, but there's no television in sight, head over to NBC.com to stream the Emmys. This requires a cable or satellite subscription, but it's a great option if you're unable to sit in front of your TV for the entire awards ceremony.

To stream the Primetime Emmys on NBC.com, go to the site in your browser of choice and select the Link TV Provider. Verify your satellite or cable subscription if prompted. Return on the ceremony day to view the live stream.

Peacock

Peacock is the NBC live-streaming service. The Emmys will stream both live and on-demand on the platform in July. Peacock offers content for free with commercials, but you'll need to subscribe to Peacock Premium for $4.99/month. There's also an ad-free tier that costs $9.99/month.

Other Ways to Live Stream the Emmys

In addition to the official NBC website, you can live stream your local NBC channel and the Primetime Emmy Awards through many popular streaming services. These live television streamers work by making deals with local stations, so this option is only available if your local NBC station is on board with one or more of these services.

Most of these services have a free trial, so sign up early and ensure that NBC works in your area. If a service doesn't have NBC, you won't be able to stream the Emmys.

DirecTV Stream

DirecTV Stream was previously known as AT&T TV Now, and it has all the same channels. They're able to provide ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, and others in most areas.

Hulu+ Live TV

Hulu + Live TV pairs one of the most popular streaming services with live television. It offers local ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC channels in most areas and carries cable channels like ESPN and more. They have a 30-day free trial.

YouTube TV

YouTube TV is a live television streaming service from Google that offers on-demand content and a cloud-based DVR. They offer ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, and more in most areas. They offer a free trial as well.

Sling TV

Sling TV only offers NBC and Fox in a limited number of markets. A free trial is available, but there may be better options.

Live streaming television from NBC is only available from these providers in participating markets. Make sure to check availability in your area in advance of the Emmys.
