Knowing when and how to watch Minecraft Live 2026 is key to finding out the biggest Minecraft news first. Among other things, Mojang will announce details about the next big drop coming to the original, vanilla game, as well as other news in the wider Minecraft world.
If you want to be one of the first in the know, then read on to find out when the next Minecraft Live broadcast takes place and how you can watch it live.
Minecraft Live 2026 date and time
The next Minecraft Live takes place on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at 10 A.M. PDT / 1 P.M. EDT / 6 P.M. BST / 7 P.M. CEST, which is a little later than usual, but also just happens to be the Minecraft Dungeons 2 release date!
The official announcement has now arrived - with Mojang cutting it a bit fine this time - following an apparent leak on the UK Bedrock edition in-game newsfeed on September 13, 2026.
There used to be one big Minecraft Live event every year, which had recently become two, smaller annual events. However, this surprise announcement suggests there could now be four of these exciting livestreams every year, fitting in with the release of four separate content updates.
I've been saying for months now that, for the next big drop, I'm still hoping for that big End update announcement, but this actually could be the one. I'm sure I'll be wearing clown make-up come September 26, but it can be no coincidence that an Enderman shows up beneath the text "a new game drop" in the event trailer... Either way, Saturday will bring news of the next Minecraft update, which will be the last of the year, and should be due in December.
