The ceremony will be broadcast on Fox on January 15, 2024, with the Creative Arts Emmys on January 6 and 7, following a delay from September 2023 due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike and the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. Nominations were announced on July 12, 2023.

Nominees

Nominees for the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards were announced on July 12, 2023, in a virtual broadcast hosted by actress Yvette Nicole Brown and Television Academy chair Frank Scherma. Succession led all programs with 27 nominations, including 14 acting nominations to tie its own record from the previous year. It also became the first series to receive three nominations for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series. The Last of Us became the first live-action video game adaptation to be nominated in major Emmy categories. In individual achievements, Paris Barclay's nomination for Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story made him the first black director to be nominated for in comedy, drama, and limited series categories; Jenna Ortega became the second-youngest nominee for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series after Patty Duke; Pedro Pascal's three nominations made him the most-nominated Latino in a year; and Keivonn Montreal Woodard became the youngest male actor and second deaf actor to be nominated. HBO and Max led all networks with 127 nominations, and the two services became the first network with four Outstanding Drama Series nominees since NBC at the 1992 ceremony. Amazon Freevee and Tubi each earned their first nominations this year for Jury Duty and The Nevers, respectively.

Category and rule changes

In June 2022, the Television Academy announced the elimination of the "hanging episode" rule for the 2023 ceremony. In previous years, episodes that aired after the May 31 eligibility deadline but before nominations voting began could be placed on a Television Academy platform for viewing. Following the rule change, all episodes must air for a national audience by May 31, or those episodes will be moved to the following ceremony; if the program does not air a new season in that following year, the episodes would be eligible for individual achievement awards only.

Following a realignment between the Primetime Emmy Awards and Daytime Emmy Awards for the 2022 ceremonies, the Television Academy and the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences announced in August 2022 that game shows would move to the primetime ceremony. New categories include Outstanding Game Show and Outstanding Host for a Game Show. To accommodate the change, the eligibility window for game shows will span from January 1, 2022, to May 31, 2023. Additionally, to avoid confusion over where programs qualify, Outstanding Competition Program was renamed to Outstanding Reality Competition Program. Game shows featuring children as contestants are eligible for the Children's and Family Emmy Awards only.

More rule changes were announced in December 2022. Most notably, the variety categories were rearranged, with Outstanding Variety Talk Series and Outstanding Variety Sketch Series becoming Outstanding Talk Series and Outstanding Scripted Variety Series. The first category covers programs focused on "unscripted interviews or panel discussions between a host/hosts and guest celebrities or personalities", while the second covers those that "consist of discrete scenes, musical numbers, monologues, comedy stand-ups, sketches, etc." The move was seen as an attempt to resolve the dwindling number of variety sketch series and to separate news-focused programs from more variety-focused talk shows; the existing categories were initially merged in late 2020 before being split again a few months later. Other changes included caps on nominations-round voting and changes to tracked categories.
