The Primetime Emmys may be over, but they don’t cover every Emmy Award given this year. We’ve still yet to see the Daytime Emmys. Normally, they air in early summer, but The Daytime Emmys were put on pause back in 2023 due to the Writers’ Strike, and things have been a little different ever since they returned.
The Daytime Emmys will not air on broadcast TV this year, but you’ll still be able to stream it live and on demand through the Emmys website this Friday, October 17, at 7:00 p.m. ET.

Where to watch the Daytime Emmys
Unfortunately, this year’s Daytime Emmys won’t air on broadcast TV. The good news is that you can still watch if you have an internet connection; all Emmys ceremonies are available on demand the next day on the official Emmys website.
You will need an Emmys login, but it only asks for an email address and not a credit card.
Pro tip: When I signed up for an Emmys account, it automatically pulled my profile picture from Gravatar without asking. Keep this in mind if you’re signing up with a Gravatar–linked email address.
What are the Daytime Emmys?
The Daytime Emmys are the home for all the shows that air between 2 a.m. and 6 p.m. All the shows stuck on permanent repeat in doctor’s offices and your parents’ houses: your Wheel of Fortunes, your Kelly Clarkson Shows, your Days of Our Lives-es.
As anyone at CableTV.com could tell you, “TV” is a wide label that covers more and more content every year. The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences recognized that the industry was ever-changing and created a whole new event—the Daytime Emmys—as a spinoff of the Primetime Emmys in 1974.
The Daytime Emmys aren’t the only spinoff to come out of the Emmys. There are also separate events for News and Documentary, as well as Sports. The Daytime Emmys themselves are actually split into several events: the Creative Arts Emmys and Lifestyle Emmys and the Children’s and Family Emmys are separate events.
This year’s ceremony is special for a few reasons: it doesn’t have a broadcast partner, it’s airing at a new time of year, and it will recognize behind-the-scenes crew members who normally wouldn’t be included.
You can stream all archived ceremonies on the official Emmys website.
