Emmy's 2018: Start Time, Livestream, and How to Watch Without Cable

What comes around every year, but manages to remain exciting for TV fans every single time it happens? That would be the Primetime Emmy Awards, which reward excellence in television and media each year. If you’re wondering how to catch all the action and how to watch the Emmys tonight, you’ve come to the right place.

In an entertaining twist, during the 2017 Emmy Awards, host Stephen Colbert pretended to be a Westworld host in a prerecorded bit for the show. But on the other hand, Stranger Things didn’t take home even one award during last year’s Emmys, despite a handful of nominations. So sci-fi fan reactions were likely all over the map during the 69th annual Emmy Awards.

This year, both David Harbour and Millie Bobby Brown are up for Emmys for Stranger Things, and there’s a chance they could both win. But you’ve got to tune in to see it happen. Here’s just a couple of ways to do just that.

Watch The Emmys on TV

The 70th Emmy Awards ceremony are scheduled to air Monday, September 17, at 8 p.m. Eastern on NBC. So the easiest way to watch the show is by turning on your TV and flipping to NBC just before the awards are about to start. If you have cable, you should be good to go. You may also have be able to pick up a broadcast on an antenna if you don’t have cable.

Watch The Emmys on Other NBC Sources

NBC is also offering the Emmys on NBC.com and the NBC app. You should be able to watch the ceremony live on NBC.com, as long as you sign in with your TV provider. The app is available for most mobile devices.
