The Sports Emmy Awards , or Sports Emmys , are part of the extensive range of Emmy Awards for artistic and technical merit for the American television industry. Bestowed by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS), the Sports Emmys are presented in recognition of excellence in American sports television programming, including sports-related series, live coverage of sporting events, and best sports announcers . The awards ceremony, presenting Emmys from the previous calendar year , is usually held on a Spring Monday night, sometime in the last two weeks in April or the first week in May. The Sports Emmy Awards are all given away at one ceremony, unlike the Primetime Emmy Awards and the Daytime Emmy Awards , which hold a " Creative Arts " ceremony in which Emmys are given to behind-the-scenes personnel.
