Primetime Emmy Award

Primetime Emmy Award adalah penghargaan yang dianugerahkan oleh Academy of Television Arts & Sciences kepada program-program terbaik di dunia televisi jam tayang utama (primetime) Amerika Serikat. Saat pertama kali diberikan tahun 1949, penghargaan ini bernama "Emmy Awards" sampai penganugerahan Daytime Emmy Award ke-1 diadakan tahun 1970-an. Kata "primetime" pun ditambahkan untuk membedakan dua penghargaan ini.

Primetime Emmy biasanya diadakan pada pertengahan September, tepatnya hari Minggu sebelum musim televisi musim gugur dimulai. Penyelenggaraannya digilir oleh empat jaringan televisi besar (CBS, ABC, NBC, dan Fox). Karena liputan Sunday Night NFL Football oleh NBC dimulai bulan September, dan NBC mendapat giliran untuk tahun 2006, 2010, dan 2014, penganugerahan Emmy dimajukan ke akhir Agustus.

Emmy dianggap setara dengan Academy Awards (untuk film), Grammy Awards (untuk musik), dan Tony Awards (untuk teater).
