VIP Party Passes for the 2026 Primetime TV Awards in L.A.
What could be better than Los Angeles in September? It’s right up there with April in Paris and Christmas in New York. There’s gorgeous weather with endless sunshine. The people are beautiful. Everyone’s in a good mood. What are they celebrating? Oh, a little award show that’s been honoring the most well-crafted, innovative and generally awesome Primetime TV programs for the past 78 years. Since the event will be held on Monday, September 14th, 2026, there’s still plenty of time to book your Primetime TV Awards after-party passes.
The award show is so big that it’s held in the Peacock Theater at L.A. Live, but the parties are even bigger. Here’s the best part. We can hook you up with VIP tickets to 2026 primetime TV parties and award show-related events happening across the city. Can you think of one reason not to go? Nah! We didn’t think so. Don’t worry, you’ll still have time to attend plenty of other big events during award show season, but not before you experience L.A. as actors, producers and creative people of all stripes celebrate their big wins.
The Primetime TV Awards, One of the Big Four Entertainment Awards
This award show is just as big as the Oscars for the big screen, the Tonys for Broadway and the Grammys for anyone in the music biz. (And we have VIP award show tickets for those events too!) At the Primetime TV Awards, the industry and its biggest big-wigs, hand out oodles of awards for comedies, dramas and anthologies that demonstrate artistic and technical expertise.
The Primetime TV Awards recognize up-and-coming shows and tried-and-true favorites like Saturday Night Live. This year, parties will be honoring hit shows like The Pitt, Hacks, Widow’s Bay, Pluribus, and Beef. All the stars will be there from Kathy Bates, Quinta Brunson and Kristen Bell to Pedro Pascal, Walton Goggins and Colman Domingo. And we bet that you can’t wait to help them celebrate their big wins at swanky clubs and private venues across the city.
When Are the 2026 Primetime TV Awards?
This year’s Primetime TV Awards are scheduled for Monday, September 14, 2026. The award ceremony is happening at the Peacock Theater in the L.A. Live entertainment complex. This storied venue has hosted the Oscars as well as the BET Awards and the AMAs. The red carpet entrances start at 5 p.m. Pacific Time with live TV coverage, and the award ceremony lasts for 3 to 3.5 hours. After that, all the stars, producers and network execs head to some of the hottest venues in Los Angeles to celebrate their big achievements.
Nominations and Voting for the Primetime TV Awards
These awards aren’t fan-generated or based on popularity or even retail sales. Members of the academy choose the nominees and vote for the best in each category. Today, winners are selected by nearly 16,000 academy members spread across 30 technical groups. Voting begins in mid-June, and the nominees are typically revealed in mid-July. This event has come a long way since 1949 when the academy sold tickets to the very first edition of the award show for just $5. Their status and prices have increased considerably since then, but we can still get you a good deal on VIP after-party passes that you can’t find anywhere else!
Who Are the Nominees for the 78th Annual Primetime TV Awards?
Today, there are more networks and streaming services than ever, which means that there are even more fantastic TV shows to choose from when determining who deserves an award. Let’s take a quick look at this year’s most nominated productions. You can find the full list of nominees at Deadline.com.
- This year, HBO’s medical drama The Pitt leads the pack with 25(!!) award nominations, just behind the all-time record of 32 for Game of Thrones.

- Season two of Beef on Netflix is another award-show darling with 16 nominations thanks to its strong supporting cast and sharp writing.
