Where to watch Minecraft Live today
The stream can be watched on phone, tablet, PC or console through Minecraft.net/live, YouTube and Twitch. The official Minecraft Live page carries the same broadcast as the Minecraft YouTube and Twitch channels. None of these need a paid account.
It helps to open the stream a few minutes early, since traffic peaks when the show goes live.
How long will Minecraft Live last?
According to Mojang, a Minecraft Live broadcast runs between thirty minutes and an hour, depending on how much there is to share.
A Deep Dig after-show is expected after the main stream, where developers usually go through new features in more detail. Content creator falsesymmetry has said on X that she will be part of the Deep Dig aftershow.
What to expect at Minecraft Live September 2026
Mojang has not shared a full list of reveals. Here is what is confirmed and what has been reported so far.
Upcoming game drops
Mojang first announced this Minecraft Live through the in-game Inbox on September 13, saying the show will include upcoming game drops and a look behind the scenes. Minecraft now gets several smaller “drops” through the year, so the stream should cover what comes after the current update.
Minecraft Dungeons II
The Last Stand event ended with a Dungeons II teaser showing a group of Illagers finding a portal to a dimension called The Sift, and the clip pointed players to Minecraft Live for the next chapter. Mojang describes The Sift as a new dimension that players reach through rifts opening across the Overworld.
Reported topics
Translated text from the Chinese Minecraft channel on WeChat reportedly mentions news on the Creator Studio Program, the Minecraft theme park and new Ice Cave biomes. Mojang has not confirmed these yet.
Some fans have also pointed to a hidden Enderman in the promotional material as a sign of an End update, but there is no official word on this.
