WWDC 2026: How to Watch the Historic Keynote and What to Expect

The tech world is buzzing today as we count down the final hours until Apple’s WWDC 2026 kicks off. While every Worldwide Developers Conference is a major event, this one feels particularly monumental. In just a short while, Tim Cook is expected to take the stage at Apple Park, and many believe this will be his final keynote as CEO before John Ternus steps into the role later this year. It’s the end of an era and the start of a brand-new chapter for the company.

When and Where to Catch the Action

The main event is scheduled to begin at 10:00 AM PT (7:00 PM CEST). Whether you’re a developer ready to dive into the code or just an Apple fan excited for the latest features, you can catch the high-production livestream through several channels. Apple will be broadcasting directly on their official website, via the Apple TV app, and on YouTube.

Software, Software, and More Software

As always, the heart of WWDC is the software that powers our daily lives. This year, we’re looking at a massive suite of updates. Expect a first look at the next generation of operating systems, including:

• iOS 27 and iPadOS 27: Bringing fresh refinements to iPhone and iPad.
• macOS 27: Continuing the evolution of the Mac desktop experience.
• watchOS 27: New health and fitness tracking capabilities for your wrist.
• tvOS 27 and visionOS 27: Enhancements for the home and spatial computing environments.

Beyond the Keynote

The excitement doesn’t stop once the lights go down on the main stage. At 1:00 PM PT, Apple will host the Platforms State of the Union, which provides a deeper dive into the technical details developers need to know. The conference itself runs through June 12, featuring a packed schedule of Group Labs, one-on-one sessions, and forum discussions designed to help developers make the most of the new tools being introduced today.
