The Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Pasadena, California, will host the 52nd annual Daytime Emmy Awards on Friday, October 17, 2025.

Mario Lopez will host the ceremony, which will celebrate accomplishments in daytime dramas, talk shows, educational programming, hosting, and culinary and legal/courtroom programs. A total of 41 Emmys will be given out during the ceremony. This year, there will be winners in a number of new categories, such as Outstanding Regional Content in a Daytime Genre, Outstanding Culinary Cultural Series, and Outstanding Emerging Talent in a Daytime Drama Series.

The Daytime Emmys’ Lifetime Achievement Award presented for Deborah Norville, who announced earlier this year that she would be leaving her position as Inside Edition’s anchor after 30 years, is anticipated to be one of the highlights.
