2026 Daytime Emmys: See The Full List Of Nominations

The nominations for the 53rd Daytime Emmys are in, and CBS' "The Young and the Restless" finishes atop the leaderboard for the third consecutive year, this time with 18 nods, including Outstanding Daytime Drama Series.

Fellow CBS soap "Beyond the Gates" is close behind with 16 nominations, followed by ABC's "General Hospital" with 13, Peacock's "Days of Our Lives" with eight, and CBS' "The Bold and the Beautiful" with six.

In its first year of eligibility, "Beyond the Gates" made an impressive showing, scoring two nominations apiece for Outstanding Lead Actress (Karla Mosley and Tamara Tunie), Outstanding Supporting Actor (Timon Kyle-Durrett and Mike Manning), and Outstanding Emerging Talent (Ambyr Michelle and Arielle Prepetit), plus nods for Outstanding Supporting Actress (Trisha Mann-Grant), Outstanding Guest Performance (Jasmine Burke), and Outstanding Daytime Drama Series.

The nominations arrive one week after the Television Academy unveiled the 2026 Primetime Emmy nominees. (You can find the full list here.)

The 2026 Daytime Emmys are set for Friday, October 30, though it's not yet clear whether the ceremony will air on television or stream exclusively via watch.theemmys.tv, as it did in 2025. TVLine will keep you posted as we learn more.
