Strictly Come Dancing will be honoured with the Special Award at the BAFTA Television Craft Awards next month.
The BBC One hit - the first programme to win the prize since 2011 - has been named this year's victor for the "outstanding creative and technical teamwork" behind the show.
Andrew Newman, the chairman of BAFTA's Television Committee, praised the "outstanding craftsmanship" of Strictly, saying that it has "set new standards for talent and creativity both here in the UK and around the world".
"This Award is to honour the craft people who bring a show that entertains millions each week to life," he added. "The team of talented individuals across many departments such as lighting, costume, cameras, hair and make-up, music, direction and editing - to name a few - are directly responsible for the format's success and we congratulate everyone involved. They really have raised the bar for studio entertainment across the globe."
The BBC's controller of entertainment production Katie Taylor described the news as "wonderful", praising the "hugely talented team" behind Strictly, while the show's director Nikki Parsons said the crew are "so excited".
Parsons, who will accept the honour at the BAFTA Television Craft Awards on behalf of the team, added: "We have extremely talented and creative people at every level on the team, working hard to deliver the highest quality of live television each week, and I am very proud to be a part of it.
