Minecraft has been running for over 17 years and, if anything, the audience has grown rather than shrunk. With the base game still pulling enormous numbers, a slate of spin-offs, and a blockbuster movie in the rear-view mirror, Mojang keeps finding reasons to bring the community together. The next big one is Minecraft Live, the annual event where Mojang lays out what's coming next for the franchise.
This year's event is teasing "the next chapter" of Minecraft, and the teasers have been pointing hard at something involving The End. Every piece of promotional material released so far has featured a hidden Enderman, which has the community convinced an End overhaul is finally on the way. Whether that pans out or not, Minecraft Dungeons 2 is also confirmed to get a showing, so there's plenty of reason to tune in.
Minecraft Live takes place on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at 10:00 AM Pacific Time. That's an early start for West Coast viewers, but it keeps the event at a reasonable hour for most of the world. The table below covers every major time zone so you can set your alarm accordingly.
| Region / Time Zone | Start Time |
|---|---|
| Pacific Time (PT) | 10:00 AM, Sept. 26 |
| Central Time (CT) | 12:00 PM, Sept. 26 |
| Eastern Time (ET) | 1:00 PM, Sept. 26 |
| Brasilia Time (BRT) | 2:00 PM, Sept. 26 |
| British Summer Time (BST) | 6:00 PM, Sept. 26 |
| Central European Summer Time (CEST) | 7:00 PM, Sept. 26 |
| India Standard Time (IST) | 10:30 PM, Sept. 26 |
| China Standard Time (CST) | 1:00 AM, Sept. 27 |
| Korean Standard Time (KST) | 2:00 AM, Sept. 27 |
| Japan Standard Time (JST) | 2:00 AM, Sept. 27 |
| Australian Eastern Time (AET) | 3:00 AM, Sept. 27 |
| New Zealand Daylight Time (NZDT) | 5:00 AM, Sept. 27 |
The event streams live across multiple platforms simultaneously. YouTube and Twitch are the primary destinations, and both are free to watch without an account.
All three streams carry the same broadcast, so pick whichever platform you're most comfortable with. YouTube tends to have a slightly more stable stream at peak traffic, but Twitch chat is considerably more entertaining if you want the live community reaction alongside the announcements.
Mojang hasn't published a full agenda, but two things are confirmed. The first is a reveal tied to "the next chapter" of the base game. The second is a new look at Minecraft Dungeons 2, which is approaching its release window.
The community speculation around the base game announcement has been almost entirely focused on The End. Every teaser Mojang has released in the lead-up to this event has included an Enderman somewhere in the frame, which is the kind of deliberate visual cue Mojang uses when they want fans to connect the dots. An End biome overhaul has been one of the most requested updates in the game's history, so if this is the year it happens, the reaction is going to be significant.
The recent Wilderness Bound drop was the last major content release before this event, which means Mojang has had time to build toward something substantial. Historically, Minecraft Live announcements have ranged from single mob votes to full update reveals, so the scope here is genuinely unknown.
Minecraft Live September 2026 Exact Date, Start Times & How to Watch
Mojang has used Minecraft Live to announce some of the game's biggest updates over the years. The format typically includes a main presentation with developer commentary, trailers for upcoming content, and sometimes community votes that let players influence what gets added to the game.
Past events have introduced biome updates, new mobs, and structural changes to core systems. The Wilderness Bound drop that preceded this year's event focused on exploration and natural world content, which fits a pattern of Mojang expanding the game's existing dimensions before moving on to new ones.
For players who want to stay current on everything happening in the game between major events, the Minecraft guides collection covers mechanics, secrets, and updates as they land.
The short answer is yes, and the longer answer is in our Minecraft review, which covers why the game has held up as one of the best open world games ever made despite being over a decade and a half old. The combination of survival mechanics, creative freedom, and a modding community that refuses to slow down keeps the player base active between major updates.
If you're returning ahead of Minecraft Live, there's a lot of ground to cover. The best Minecraft mods guide is a solid starting point for anyone who wants to expand what the base game offers while waiting for the official announcements on September 26.
The event is two days out as of today. Set your reminders, pick your stream, and get ready for what could be one of the bigger Minecraft announcements in recent memory.
