Television's biggest night in Hollywood, the Emmys, is officially here, and it's date night for some of our favorite TV stars.
The 2026 Primetime Emmy Awards are airing Monday, September 14 at 8 p.m. ET, live from the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles. Viewers can watch the broadcast on NBC or stream the event live online with a Peacock subscription.
The event is being hosted by none other than the reigning queen of police procedurals, Mariska Hargitay herself, who is coming off of two wins this season already for the documentary My Mom Jayne, about the life and untimely death of her mother Jayne Mansfield.

HBO's The Pitt leads the nominations with 25 for its second season, followed by Hacks with 24 for its fifth and final season, then Apple TV+ trails with 19 for the first season of Widow's Bay, and 18 for the first season of Pluribus.
Some of the anticipated big winners of the night are Matthew Rhys, nominated for both The Beast in Me as well as Widow's Bay, plus Jean Smart, who has thus far won an Emmy for every season of Hacks, and who could be tying with Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Cloris Leachman for most acting Emmys for a single performer should she win her eighth Emmy tonight.
Follow along on the night with our live coverage here, and don't miss the best looks from the red carpet here.
Now, without further ado, here are some of the sweetest couple moments from the red carpet!
