*Emmy statues appear at the 2016 Primetime Emmy Awards Press Preview Day at the Microsoft Theater on Wednesday, Sept. 14, 2016, in Los Angeles.*

The 68th Emmy Awards ceremony is Sunday, starting at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. Television's biggest night will be hosted by late night comedian Jimmy Kimmel.

If you're one of millions of TV fans without a cable subscription—or an old-fashioned television set—here's how you can see who wins live.

The pre-show red carpet arrivals and coverage begin at 4:30 p.m. ET on E!, while ABC's own red carpet special begins at 6:30 p.m. ET. [TV Guide](http://www.tvguide.com/news/emmy-awards-2016-how-to-watch/) reports that you can watch the coverage live on [CBS News](http://www.cbsnews.com/live/).

The ceremony airs on ABC. So if you have a subscription, you can watch on ABC.com or via the ABC app. If you don't have a cable subscription, your best option is to watch via Sling TV. As we've written about previously, Sling is a $20-per-month subscription that includes access to shows on ESPN, CNN, Comedy Central, and many other channels. For an additional $5, you can get access to ABC in certain markets, including Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Raleigh-Durham, and San Francisco.

Another option is to invest in a digital TV antennae, since ABC is a broadcast station. Money has recommended the [$37 Mohu Leaf](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004QK7HI8/?timecom-20) in the past.

Otherwise, the show will be available on-demand on Monday.
