Sports Emmys Nominations: ‘NFL 360’ & ‘Super Bowl LVIII’ Lead The League As Football Dominates

Pro football is king of this year’s Sports Emmy nominations.

NFL Network’s NFL 360 leads the league with 11 noms, which were announced today by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. CBS and Nickelodeon are right behind with 10 mentions for this year’s Super Bowl LVIII, and Prime Video’s Thursday Night Football is tied with ESPN’s E60 for third with nine. NBC’s Sunday Night Football scored five nominations, tying with ESPN’s SportsCenter.

• James Brown To Receive Lifetime Achievement Award At Sports Emmys

• 2024 Awards Season Calendar – Dates For Writers Guild, Tonys & More

• Academy Of Country Music Awards Nominations: Luke Combs Leads With 8; Morgan Wallen & Megan Moroney Nab 6 Each

See the list of noms in all 46 categories below.

Continuing the NFL dominance are Fox’s Fox NFL, HBO’s Hard Knocks and Disney’s Toy Story Funday Football, which are tied with the now-wrapped Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel at four noms each. ABC/ESPN’s Monday Night Football and CBS’ The NFL Today are among a half-dozen shows vying in three categories.

Add to that this year’s Lifetime Achievement Awards recipient: James Brown, who is has anchored pro football pregame shows including The NFL Today, NFL on Fox and Inside the NFL. He’s also has hosted the Super Bowl a record 12 times.

Winners will receive their trophies during the 45th Sports Emmy Awards ceremony on May 21 at Frederick P. Rose Hall in Manhattan.

“This year’s sports broadcasting nominees produced thrilling and captivating television,” NATAS President and CEO Adam Sharp said.
