We present an analysis of a new 120 deg$^{2}$ radio continuum image of theLarge Magellanic Cloud (LMC) at 888 MHz with a bandwidth of 288 MHz and beamsize of $13\rlap{.}^{\prime\prime}9\times12\rlap{.}^{\prime\prime}1$, from theAustralian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) processed as part of theEvolutionary Map of the Universe (EMU) survey. The median Root Mean Squarednoise is 58 $\mu$Jy beam$^{-1}$. We present a catalogue of 54,612 sources,divided over a GOLD list (30,866 sources) complete down to 0.5 mJy uniformlyacross the field, a SILVER list (22,080 sources) reaching down to $<$ 0.2 mJyand a BRONZE list (1,666 sources) of visually inspected sources in areas ofhigh noise and/or near bright complex emission. We discuss detections ofplanetary nebulae and their radio luminosity function, young stellar objectsshowing a correlation between radio luminosity and gas temperature, novae andX-ray binaries in the LMC, and active stars in the Galactic foreground that maybecome a significant population below this flux level. We present examples ofdiffuse emission in the LMC (H II regions, supernova remnants, bubbles) anddistant galaxies showcasing spectacular interaction between jets andintracluster medium. Among 14,333 infrared counterparts of the predominantlybackground radio source population we find that star-forming galaxies becomemore prominent below 3 mJy compared to active galactic nuclei. We combine thenew 888 MHz data with archival Australia Telescope Compact Array data at 1.4GHz to determine spectral indices; the vast majority display synchrotronemission but flatter spectra occur too. We argue that the most extreme spectralindex values are due to variability.
