How to watch Apple WWDC 2026 event live
Article excerpt
Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference kicks off Monday, June 8 at 10 a.m. PT, with the keynote marking the company's annual showcase for developers and tech enthusiasts. The event will unveil new software platforms, developer tools, and hardware announcements that shape Apple's ecosystem for the year ahead. Multiple streaming options will be available for those wanting to watch live, from Apple's official channels to third-party platforms.
June is here, and Apple fans know what that means: It's time for the annual Worldwide Developers Conference, better known as WWDC.
While most of the event is catered to developers, the opening keynote address is traditionally way more consumer-oriented than most of Apple's competitors' developer events. Apple usually saves its big software announcements for WWDC (and also announces some of its most powerful desktop computers, like the Mac Studio, during the event).
So, if you want to watch Tim Cook's final WWDC as Apple CEO, and the potential debut of iOS 27, an all-new Siri, and potentially some new Mac devices, here's how to watch the keynote live.
Watch Apple WWDC 2026 live
WWDC 2026 takes place from June 8 to June 12. The big keynote, however, opens up the show on Monday at 10 a.m. PT (or 1 p.m. ET).
Apple fans will be able to watch the keynote live at Apple.com, on Apple's YouTube channel, and the Apple TV app. You can also join Mashable at the CNET WWDC livestream watch party, where tech editors from Mashable, CNET, and PCMag will break down the biggest announcements after the event wraps.
This will be Tim Cook's final WWDC as CEO
Held in Cupertino, WWDC is shaping up to be even bigger than usual. Apple is expected to announce details of the next operating systems for its entire hardware lineup, which should include iOS 27, macOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and visionOS 27.
Apple hasn't provided any information about what to expect. However, the long-awaited relaunch of Siri as a full-fledged AI assistant has been rumored to make its debut at this year's WWDC.
Also, beyond Apple's products, this is expected to be Apple CEO Tim Cook's very last keynote as head of the company. Apple's current Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering John Ternus will become Apple CEO just in time for its big iPhone event in September.
