Tom Brady, Charles Barkley, Candace Parker, and Eli and Petyon Manning are among the top nominees for the 2026 Sports Emmys. (Alas, Lady Gaga was not eligible this year after winning last year for the Super Bowl LIX pregame show.)

The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences announced the nominations for its 47th annual event on Tuesday. The winners will be announced at an all-star ceremony on May 26 at Jazz at Lincoln Center's Frederick P. Rose Hall in New York City. The Sports Emmys honor excellence in sports television coverage from the previous calendar year.

Brady, Troy Aikman, Cris Collinsworth, Greg Olsen, and Bill Raftery are nominated for Best Sports Personality: Event Analyst. Barkley, Parker, Clark Kellogg, Mina Kimes, Pedro Martinez, and Alex Rodriguez are up for Best Sports Personality: Studio Analyst.

The NFL, which dominates the ratings, dominated the field for Best Live Sports Series, with the contenders including Fox NFL, ESPN and ABC's Monday Night Football, ESPN's Monday Night Football With Petyon and Eli, NBC's Sunday Night Football, and Prime Video's Thursday Night Football.

See the complete list of Sports Emmys nominations in all 47 categories on the NATAS website.

Additional ceremony details, including a host and special honorees, will be announced at a later date.
