The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences announced the nominees for the ceremony, which will take place May 21, 2024, at Lincoln Center in New York City, on Tuesday.
Renowned Sports Broadcaster James Brown will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award.
The 46 categories covered in the nominations include Outstanding Live Special and Live Series, Outstanding Studio Host, Emerging On-Air Talent, journalism and four documentary categories.
In a statement, NATAS President & CEO Adam Sharp said, “This year’s sports broadcasting nominees produced thrilling and captivating television. We look forward to welcoming these exceptional professionals to the 45th Annual Sports Emmy Awards in May.”
Head of Sports Stephen Head said, “The Sports Emmy Awards are proud to recognize the outstanding work of this year’s nominees and to honor James Brown for his long and prolific career.”
