International viewing of Emmy Awards 2025 - confirmed partners and notes (region by region)

Distribution outside the rest of the U.S. is managed by local broadcasters and stream partners; rights and time slots are diverse. The following are the best available, confirmed arrangements and authoritative recommendations at publication time:

Australia: Foxtel/Binge and its associated channels' official near-live or live coverage. Monday, September 15, local time, Australian broadcast (tape-delays and encores at the discretion of the broadcaster). Australian media have Binge / Foxtel as local carriers.

India (South Asia): Indian streaming partner of the Emmys is running under joint service JioHotstar (the joint legacy of Disney+ Hotstar/JioCinema); the Emmys have been advertised on that service for Indians, and Indian media also include JioHotstar as the streaming service for India.

This aligns with post-merger brand and distribution situations in 2025. Indian audiences may look forward to early-morning access on Monday, Sept. 15, local time (local start times are available on the platform).

Germany: Deutsche Telekom / MagentaTV (on the #dabeiTV channel) has made carriage of the Emmys feed available to German audiences; local programming and presentation arrangements are indicated on MagentaTV's program schedules.

New Zealand: The local listings reference a special tape-delayed broadcast on Sky's Rialto channel (taped locally for Monday prime time, Sept. 15 NZT); the local news and Sky program guides add that Rialto will broadcast New Zealand. Check your Sky/Rialto schedule for the local start time.

Latin America: Over the past few years, the ceremony has been broadcast on local TNT/TNT Series feeds; regional social and programming networks have promoted Emmy coverage. Rights differ by territory (some nations utilize cable channels while others use streaming partners), so viewers should watch the local TNT/TNT Series schedule or national listings.

Local rights deals and schedules for global carriage; if your area is not covered above, visit the Television Academy "Where to Watch" webpage and your local broadcaster or streamer for ultimate local advice.

Tips for time zones and handy viewer tips for Emmy Awards 2025

Live US time: Sept. 14, 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. PT. International viewers should normally tune in to this morning of Sept. 15 (or Monday local time); see local broadcast time with local broadcaster or streaming service ahead of the event.

Subscription level is important: In the US, live streaming relies on being at the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscription level; below lower levels, there might be only on-demand viewing after the live broadcast. This is a categorical distribution note from the official watch instructions.

Creative Arts coverage: Technical and multi-craft awards were held on Sept. 6–7, and a highlight/compiled broadcast will be done on FXX on Sept. 13; those Creative Arts winners are usually available on participating streaming services for a limited time.
