Grinding Gear Games will stream both days of ExileCon 2026 free on Twitch and YouTube. The event takes place November 7 and 8 in New Zealand, while the broadcast starts at 12 p.m. PST on November 6 and 7 because of the time-zone difference.
The keynote starts one hour after the broadcast
Each day’s stream begins at noon PST on the official Path of Exile Twitch channel. The keynote follows at 1 p.m. PST. Grinding Gear Games says the broadcast will carry its announcements, live podcasts with Path of Exile creators, developer panels and other sessions across the weekend.
The studio has not published the complete running order. Its October 6 notice says the schedule is still being finished and should arrive in a couple of weeks. Viewers should therefore treat the noon start and 1 p.m. keynote as the firm planning points, rather than assume a time for every panel.
Race finals cover both Path of Exile games
ExileCon will host race finals for Path of Exile and Path of Exile 2. Earlier official updates identified November 7-8 NZT as the finals window after separate qualifying events for both games. The one-month announcement confirms that the finals sit within the wider convention program.
Co-streaming is permitted. Grinding Gear Games also plans new Twitch Drops, but the reward details and viewing requirements have not been announced. Anyone watching for a specific cosmetic should wait for the separate Drops notice instead of relying on terms from an earlier qualifier broadcast.
Tickets are limited, while online viewing stays free
A small batch of in-person tickets has returned through the official ExileCon page. The studio describes availability as very limited. It also says more attendee information is coming, including a cosplay policy and a code of conduct for streamers at the event.
The online program does not require a ticket. Viewers can use the official Twitch or YouTube broadcasts, and the published time-zone split explains why the Auckland event dates appear one day later than the listed PST stream dates.
