Where to open the official broadcast
The NATAS website embeds The 53rd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards video from The Emmy Awards YouTube channel. The direct video and the organizer’s website are linked in Sources below.
The official video listing was marked live when checked at 7:11pm Eastern on Friday, October 30, 2026.
The pre-show starts before the awards
The video description lists interviews and special moments from 3:45pm Pacific, or 6:45pm Eastern, on October 30. It says the ceremony will follow on the same stream.
The ceremony listings contain a time mismatch
NATAS’s ticket page lists the awards presentation at 5pm Pacific, equivalent to 8pm Eastern. The YouTube description also gives 8pm Eastern, but pairs it with 6pm Pacific. Those two times are not equivalent.
The listings therefore disagree on the Pacific ceremony start. Open the official player for the current program and check its latest schedule.
