Note Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

The show was first aired in 2009 on Logo TV, the following year it won Outstanding Reality Program at the 21st GLAAD Media Awards while in 2011 it received its first Critics' Choice Television Award nomination for Best Reality Series – Competition. The program continued to be recognized at the Critics' Choice Television Awards, with RuPaul receiving nominations for Best Reality Show Host in 2012, 2014 and 2018, winning the latter.

In 2014, the show won the TCA Award for Outstanding Achievement in Reality Programming while in 2015 it received its first Primetime Emmy Award nomination with Mathu Andersen being nominated for Outstanding Makeup for a Multi-Camera Series or Special (Non-Prosthetic) for his work in the seventh season episode "ShakesQueer". The next year, RuPaul won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Competition Program, the first of eight consecutive wins in the category.

In 2017 the program moved to VH1 which brought more exposure to the program and made it a frequent nominee at the Primetime Emmy Awards receiving several awards and nominations for each season ever since. In 2018, the program won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Reality Competition Program, an award it has won four consecutive times. The program has also received nominations from several guilds such as the Art Directors Guild, the Costume Designers Guild and the Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild.

Some segments of the program have also been recognized. The Untucked series won Best Unstructured Series at the 4th Critics' Choice Real TV Awards and Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program at the 73rd Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards. The Whatcha Packin' series, hosted by Michelle Visage was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Short Form Nonfiction or Reality Series in 2022.
