The official list of nominees for the main 2026 Emmy Awards won’t be announced until July 8, but that hasn’t stopped TV fans and experts from predicting what will receive a nod from the Television Academy. Many of the nominations from last year’s ceremony are expected to fill the slots for the upcoming Emmys, including The Pitt, Hacks, and Only Murders in the Building. And there will likely be holdovers from the TV category winners from the 2025 Golden Globes, like lead actress Rhea Seehorn from Pluribus. However, there are plenty of new entries that many think have a shot at making it onto the final list. Based on early odds and predictions, here’s who will likely be nominated for the 78th Emmy Awards, which is slated to air on September 14, 2026 on NBC and Peacock.
List of the most likely 2026 Emmy nominees
The following are the shows, actors, and actresses who have the highest chances of being a 2026 Emmy nominee, as voted by experts, editors, and fans from Gold Derby (as of April 8, 2026).
Please note that this is specifically for the Primetime Emmys, as opposed to, say, the Daytime Emmys or Creative Arts Emmys. Nor will it include the new Legacy Award for the upcoming ceremony. For the sake of brevity, we will only mention the contenders that received at least 20% in the odds.
