Where to watch Minecraft Live
Mojang streams the event across its official channels, so you can pick whichever platform you already use. Tuning in a few minutes early helps avoid any buffering when the stream opens.
- minecraft.net/live for the official broadcast page
- The Minecraft YouTube channel
- The Minecraft Twitch channel
Accessibility versions of the stream are also carried on the Minecraft YouTube channel, including Audio Description, ASL, BSL, and a vertical feed. You will know the show has started when the countdown on the player ends and the live feed begins at 17:00 UTC.
The main presentation usually takes between thirty minutes and an hour; its length depends on how much Mojang has to present.
The Deep Dig after-show
The Deep Dig after-show follows the main presentation, giving developers extra time to walk through new features. falsesymmetry hosts a segment starting at 16:30 UTC (9:30 AM PT / 5:30 PM BST), and Ph1LzA is also set to appear.
What Mojang is teasing for the broadcast
Mojang’s trailer confirms four parts of the broadcast: one focused on a new game drop; another on developer insights; a third covering new adventures; and a Minecraft Dungeons II showcase. The studio had highlighted all four directly before the stream.
The next game drop
With Wilderness Bound already live on Java and Bedrock, the stream is expected to preview the final drop of the year. Mojang teased a winter theme by posting an image of Steve standing in front of icy blocks with the caption “Something cool is coming to Minecraft Live,” pointing to a winter-themed release in December 2026.
Minecraft Dungeons II
The biggest confirmed tease so far is the next chapter of Minecraft Dungeons II. During The Last Stand, Mojang revealed the first part of the game’s lore, introducing the Sift dimension and a trio of Illagers known as the High Council who drew power from the Sift to rule the Overworld. A closing message pointed viewers to the live stream to see the story continue, alongside more developer interviews.
Beyond those confirmed items, Mojang has said the show will cover behind-the-scenes footage and news about the wider Minecraft roadmap. Whatever gets revealed, the schedule is set, the links are ready, and the stream goes live at 10AM PT on September 26.
