2020 Emmys online: How to watch the 72nd Emmy Awards live stream without a TV

The 2020 Emmys, which air live nationwide on Sunday, September 20 beginning at 5:00 p.m. PT/8:00 p.m. ET, will be available for cable TV subscribers to watch online at the ABC website. And in certain markets, you can watch the live stream if you subscribe to DIRECTV Now, Hulu Live TV, Playstation Vue, and YouTube TV. All of these streaming services offer free trial periods.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Emmy Awards are going virtual this year. While host Jimmy Kimmel and soe of the presenters will take to the stage at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles all the nominees will be beamed in from around the world.  That should speed up the proceedings, with a whopping 23 awards scheduled to be handed out.

We are predicting the winners of all these races at the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards: The drama series “Succession,” comedy series “Schitt’s Creek” and limited series “Watchmen” will dominate, with wins in the program categories as well as for acting, directing and writing.
