Mojang is bringing back Minecraft LIVE this weekend for its second broadcast of 2026. The stream airs Saturday, September 26 at 1 PM ET, one hour later than the summer event, and it will again be the studio’s main stage for revealing what is next for vanilla Minecraft.
When Minecraft LIVE starts
The official Minecraft.net live page lists September 26 as the next show in a schedule that now runs multiple times a year. An Xbox Wire post on September 24 confirmed the date, and the event follows Minecraft LIVE Summer 2026, which streamed virtually on May 30 at 12 PM ET. The September start time lands one hour later than that summer broadcast.
What the show covers
Minecraft LIVE is a virtual event focused on updates to vanilla Minecraft. Mojang now ships a series of smaller, more frequent content releases it calls game drops, and the broadcasts walk through the features arriving across those drops. Each show lasts between thirty minutes and an hour depending on how much the studio has to announce, and Mojang describes the presentation as packed with news about its games, content creators, and more.
What is confirmed so far
Mojang has not yet named which game drops will appear at the September broadcast. The event page keeps the agenda under wraps ahead of the stream, directing viewers to tune in for details on the next update rather than previewing specific features. That leaves the exact content of the show unannounced until it goes live on September 26.
How to watch on September 26
The broadcast is free to watch from a phone, tablet, PC, or console through the Minecraft.net/live event hub, the official Minecraft YouTube channel, or Twitch. Anyone who misses the stream can catch the full replay and highlights afterward through the same event page and YouTube channel.
For players who follow Minecraft’s update cadence, the show is the next checkpoint for learning what Mojang has planned for the game through the rest of 2026.
