How to watch the Emmys 2022 online right now — date, time and more

It's finally time to watch the Emmys 2022 online, as the year's top shows get recognized and honored. This year's ceremony returns to airing live from inside the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, after the two previous Emmy Awards were disrupted by the pandemic. The 2022 Emmys will be broadcast on NBC, with host Kenan Thompson overseeing the proceedings.

As usual, the 2022 Emmy nominees includes some of the best TV shows, including Squid Game, Succession, Ted Lasso, Abbott Elementary, Severance, Yellowjackets and The White Lotus.

HBO/HBO Max once again reigned supreme in major nominations and already nabbed 25 wins at last weekend's Creative Arts Emmys. Netflix isn't far behind and has three of the eight Outstanding Drama nominees: Ozark, Squid Game and Stranger Things. 

On the comedy side, Ted Lasso is a frontrunner and may take home the Outstanding Comedy trophy for the second year in a row. Abbott Elementary may have something to say about that, though. 

The 2022 Emmy presenters include Angela Bassett, Oscar winner Ariana DeBose, Selena Gomez, Mariska Hargitay, Lee Jung-jae, Jimmy Kimmel, Diego Luna and Kerry Washington. 

Here's everything you need to watch the Emmys 2022 online — including the red carpet pre-show content and where it's airing.

How to watch Emmys 2022 live stream from anywhere

Just because NBC isn't available everywhere doesn't mean you can't watch the 2022 Emmy Awards if you're away from home. Watching the ceremony along with the rest of the internet can be pretty easy with the right VPN (virtual private network). You can stream the show from wherever you go.

We've evaluated many VPN services, and our top pick is ExpressVPN. It meets the VPN needs of the vast majority of users, offering outstanding compatibility with most devices and impressive connection speeds. It's also affordable at $12.95 per month. (Signing up for longer periods of six months or a year reduces the cost even more.)

We think speed, security and simplicity make ExpressVPN second to none. During our tests, we saw fast connection times, and we're impressed by the service's ability to access more than 3,000 services spread out across 160 locations in 94 countries. There's a 30-day money-back guarantee if you're not satisfied.
