Amazon secures exclusive global streaming rights to the Emmy Awards for six years
Amazon announced that Prime Video will stream the Emmy Awards worldwide under an exclusive six‑year agreement beginning in 2027. The deal replaces the ceremony’s historic rotation among U.S. broadcast networks and will be free to watch without a Prime subscription. Amazon executives said the partnership will expand global advertising reach and attract younger viewers to the Prime ecosystem.
Why it matters
The free global broadcast gives Amazon a new marquee live‑event platform to grow its advertising footprint, which could boost revenue from ad‑supported content. The company also expects the high‑profile event to drive broader awareness of Prime Video and increase user engagement worldwide.
