WWDC 2026: See everything Apple announced at the keynote.
Apple’s biggest software event of the year is here, and if you want to catch the WWDC 2026 keynote live, you need two things: the right time for your part of the world, and the best place to stream it. We have both below, so you do not miss a second of what is shaping up to be one of Apple’s most important keynotes in years.
Here is everything you need to know.
When Is the WWDC 2026 Keynote?
The keynote kicks off on Monday, June 8 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time. That is the same slot Apple uses every year, so if you have watched a keynote before, you already know the rhythm.
For the quick headline conversions: that is 1:00 p.m. on the U.S. East Coast and 6:00 p.m. in the U.K. If you want every major time zone laid out, scroll down to the table.
One thing worth knowing if you are a developer: the keynote is followed immediately by the Platforms State of the Union at 1:00 p.m. Pacific, which is where Apple goes deeper on the actual tools and APIs behind the headline features.
WWDC 2026 Keynote Time in Every Time Zone
Here is when the keynote begins wherever you are. Note that for a chunk of Asia and the Pacific, the 10:00 a.m. Pacific start lands in the early hours of Tuesday, June 9, so set an alarm accordingly.

How to Watch the WWDC 2026 Keynote
The good news is that Apple makes this easy, and you do not need to be a developer to tune in. The keynote streams live across several platforms, so pick whichever fits your setup:
- Apple’s website. The keynote streams on the Apple Events page at apple.com, which works in Safari, Chrome, Edge, and other modern browsers. This is the simplest option if you are watching on a laptop or desktop.
- The Apple TV app. Available on Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Vision Pro. The keynote link usually appears in the app on the day of the event or just before, either under Watch Now or by searching “WWDC.”
- YouTube. Apple livestreams the keynote on its official YouTube channel, which is the easiest route if you are watching on a smart TV, games console, or any device with the YouTube app.
- The Apple Developer app and website. Handy if you also want quick access to the developer sessions later in the week.
- Bilibili. For viewers in China, Apple is broadcasting the keynote on its Bilibili channel.
If you cannot watch live, or you would rather read the announcements than sit through the whole thing, plenty of sites (including this one) run live blogs with real-time updates and instant reactions.

Why This Keynote Matters More Than Usual
This is not a run-of-the-mill WWDC. The big story is Siri, and specifically the long-awaited, AI-powered overhaul that Apple first teased back in 2024 and then delayed. Reports point to a chatbot-style Siri built on a new large language model foundation, with deeper integration across iOS, and it is widely expected to be powered in part by Google’s Gemini models. Alongside that, expect the usual parade of platform updates: iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and visionOS 27.
There is also a bit of history attached to this one. According to Engadget, this is likely to be the final WWDC keynote with Tim Cook as CEO, with John Ternus reportedly set to take over the role in September. So if accurate, you may want to tune in just to catch the end of an era.
The keynote starts Monday, June 8 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific. Find your time zone above, pick your stream, and get comfortable.
