The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) announced that the 52nd Daytime Emmy® Awards will not be held in June 2025. Instead, the award show, which honors soap operas like Days of our Lives, General Hospital, The Bold and the Beautiful, and The Young and the Restless, and other daytime television, will occur later in the year.
Reason For Changes
The Daytime Emmys will be in October this year. The reason for the change is the 46th Annual News & Documentary Emmy® Awards will move to June 2025.
The updated 46th Annual News & Documentary Emmy® Award timeline:
- Entries open: January 9
- Regular deadline: January 24
- Final entry deadline: February 7
- Judging window: March 3-April 14 (two rounds)
- Nominations announced: Week of April 28/first week of May
- 46th News & Documentary Emmy Awards: June 2025
Shifting the timeline allows the News and Documentary Emmys to be more timely in their recognition of time-sensitive content. Plus, the shorter submission window still allows for ample judging time.
“For nearly half a century, the News & Documentary Emmys have honored the best in broadcast journalism and documentary programming,” said NATAS President & CEO, Adam Sharp. “Moving the ceremony earlier in the Emmy schedule shines a brighter light on the timely nature of the incredible content being recognized.”
The 52nd Daytime and Daytime Creative Arts Emmy® Awards will then be held in October. Additional details will be announced at a later date. Find out who won the Daytime Emmy Awards in 2024.
