How to watch the 2022 Emmy Awards 

You can watch the 2022 Emmy Awards live on September 12 at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock ($5/month).

If you already have a cable or satellite pay-TV provider with NBC, you can stream the Emmys using your account information via the NBC website or the NBC App. 

If you don't have cable, Peacock is the cheapest way to stream the 2022 Emmy Awards. Though Peacock has a free entry-level plan, the Emmys are exclusive to the service's Premium plan. Peacock Premium is $5 a month, but for a limited time, you can lock in an entire year at a discounted rate of just $2 a month.

NBC and its related channels are also available through several live TV streaming services, including Sling TV, Youtube TV, FuboTV, and Hulu + Live TV. Full channel lineups vary and starting prices range between $35 and $70 a month. 

Of the above options, Sling TV is the most affordable. Sling Blue includes NBC in select markets, plus 40 other channels for $35 a month. New members can get their first month for 50% off.

Why are the 2022 Emmys on a Monday night?

Though the Emmys are traditionally held on a Sunday night, the 2022 Emmys will be broadcast on a Monday to  accommodate for NBC's Sunday Night Football.
