Get ready, Warframe and Soulframe devotees, because the annual Digital Extremes convention you do not want to miss is nearly here: TennoCon 2026 takes place in beautiful London, Ontario, for two entire days of events and activities – physically and virtually – on July 10 and July 11. Ahead of that, the road to TennoCon 2026 has now kicked off in earnest with its branding reveal alongside a new trailer hyping up everything to expect out of the convention.
As you can see in the trailer, there's plenty to be excited about from the TennoConcert to the TennoCon 2026 Relay Experience. While the official TennoCon 2026 website serves as your one-stop shop for all things TennoCon this year, there's actually quite a bit of specific detail to wrap your head around so you're not missing out on anything that's important to you.
The in-person and stream schedules for TennoCon 2026 are already live, but given tickets for the in-person event are sold out, it is perhaps most useful to understand exactly how you can virtually participate. That goes beyond simply watching the various panels as they are broadcast, though it doesn't hurt to keep those in mind if any catch your eye. Notably, actors Ben Starr and Jennifer English will make appearances on Warframe and Soulframe panels while in-person attendees may have the chance to meet other actors in attendance.
Specifically, the cosplay contest on Friday, July 10, at 7pm ET is followed by the TennoConcert 2026 at 8:30pm ET. If you're not physically attending at Canada Life Place, you can watch online as "13 years of soundscapes from across the Origin System" are conducted by Warframe composer Matthew Chalmers – and performed by a full orchestra.
Best of all? There will be Twitch Drops for the broadcast stream on both days of TennoCon, which you can see for yourself in the trailer. So long as you've successfully linked your Twitch and Warframe accounts, you can watch TennoCon 2026 programming via official Warframe Twitch and Steam channels to earn the following rewards:
Friday, July 10: Cosplay Contest + TennoConcert
- Drop 1: Verminia Cosplay Community Display - 7pm ET - 8:30pm ET
- Drop 2: Singing Lotus Community Glyph + Built Forma - 8:30pm ET - 10pm ET
Saturday, July 11: Main Stage Panels + TennoLive
- Drop 3: Haalvu (New Primary Weapon) - 11am ET - 4pm ET
- Drop 4: Mesa Prime - 4pm ET - 6pm ET
There will also be physical giveaways at TennoCon 2026, including potential prizes like a complete Warframe Hyper X headset kit, Warframe-branded Jade City hot sauce, and in-game Platinum. More giveaways are expected to be announced prior to the event itself, so keep your eyes peeled.
And if you're not content to simply watch TennoCon 2026, you can also take part in the action. The TennoCon 2026 Relay Experience, which invites Warframe players to take part in a simultaneous in-game activity alongside TennoLive (the main event and gameplay presentation of the convention), begins on July 11 at 4pm ET. Exactly what to expect remains to be seen, with further teasers almost certainly set to release between now and TennoCon, but Digital Extremes often tries to go all out for the annual event with new demo showcases for both Warframe and Soulframe
There's certain to be even more announced ahead of TennoCon 2026, and who knows what the studio has in store. Between linking up Warframe and Twitch accounts if you're watching virtually or checking out the newly released showfloor maps if you're going to be there in person, there's more than enough to prepare for already.
