Mojang has locked in the date and time for the next Minecraft Live. The showcase runs on September 26, and streams live on the official Minecraft channels, arriving just over a week after the Wilderness Bound update landed. The confirmation closed out the studio’s “The Last Stand” event, which teased the next chapter of Minecraft Dungeons 2 before revealing the schedule.

Quick answer: Minecraft Live starts at 10AM PT / 7PM CEST (17:00 UTC) on Saturday, September 26, 2026. Watch it on the official Minecraft YouTube channel.

Where to watch Minecraft Live

Tuning in is simple. Open the official Minecraft YouTube channel at the start time and the livestream will be there. No sign-up or ticket is required, and the full replay stays available afterward if you miss the live broadcast.


What to expect from the show

Mojang describes the event as a look at “upcoming game drops, a look behind the scenes, and more.” Expect a mix of new feature reveals for vanilla Minecraft, developer discussion, and behind-the-scenes material about what comes next.

  • The next chapter of Minecraft Dungeons 2, following the teaser shown during The Last Stand
  • Upcoming game drops, including winter-themed content
  • Developer commentary and behind-the-scenes footage
  • Announcements about the future of vanilla Minecraft

The Dungeons 2 tease showed a calm Overworld before a group of Illagers stumbled onto a portal leading to The Sift dimension. The clip ended by pointing players toward Minecraft Live to see the next chapter for themselves.


The Deep Dig after-show

A Deep Dig after-show is expected to follow the main presentation. That segment gives developers room to demonstrate the new features hands-on and dig into mechanics that only get a quick look during the main broadcast.

With Wilderness Bound already out and the Dungeons 2 chapter teased, the September 26 stream is set to be the first full look at where Minecraft heads through the rest of the year.
