At WWDC 2026, Tim Cook will keynote his final major event before stepping down as CEO later this year. Apple has come a long way under his stewardship, launching some of its most important products, such as the Apple Watch and MacBook Neo. Apple relies on its developer conference to highlight changes coming to its major platforms, and this year looks to be a standout.

Major improvements to Siri, Apple's long beleaguered personal assistant, are the top topic of discussion. Reports suggest that it will adopt the features and powers of popular chatbots, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. Beyond Siri, we expect major announcements to shake up iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, and more. Here's how to tune in—and what to expect.

How to Watch the WWDC 2026 Keynote WWDC takes place from Monday, June 8 to Friday, June 12, with the keynote—the only segment streamed publicly—kicking off the four-day conference today, June 8, at 10 a.m. Pacific. If you're on Mountain Time, Central Time, or Eastern Time, that works out to 11 a.m., 12 p.m., and 1 p.m., respectively. For our readers in the UK, you'll be tuning in at 6 p.m. The keynote will take place at Apple Park in Cupertino with reserved seats for press, developers, and other VIPs. We're already there reporting on all the big news as it happens.

If you didn't get an invite, you can watch the keynote from the comfort of your own home. It will be livestreamed via Apple's Events website, YouTube channel, and Apple TV app. In my experience, the Apple Events page delivers a faster, higher-fidelity stream, but YouTube is more familiar to use and easier for jumping across devices, such as from your smart TV to your phone.
