The 2022 Emmys are upon us, but this year they’re bleeding into the work week.

If you feel like you remember the Emmys are usually on Sundays, you’re not wrong. Traditionally, TV’s biggest night occurs on Sunday night just like the Oscars. So why are the Emmys on Monday this year? You can blame football.

The last time the Emmys were on a Monday was 2018 (hosted by “SNL” stars Michael Che and Colin Jost), which is also the last time the ceremony was televised on NBC.

Starting in 2014 with the Seth Meyers-hosted Emmys, when the awards show is televised on NBC, the ceremony is shifted to Monday so the network can still air NBC’s Sunday Night Football as planned.

NBC took over the rights to Sunday Night Football from ESPN in 2006, but the 2006 and 2010 Emmys ceremonies aired on Sundays.
