The Television Academy has announced a number of rules changes for the 78th Emmy Awards competition in 2026, including two updates in the music categories. In the Outstanding Main Title Theme Music category, eligibility has been expanded to “include main-on-end themes. Both a Main Title Theme (appearing at the beginning of the program) and a Main-on-End Title Theme (appearing after the final act, before the end credits/crawl) are eligible.” In addition, the Outstanding Music Composition for a Documentary/Nonfiction or Reality Program (Original Dramatic Score) category will now allow eligibility for reality programs that contain an original dramatic score.
