Don't miss the Made by Google 2026 event. Learn how to watch the live stream of the Pixel 11 and Pixel Watch 5 launch, and discover what to expect from the event.
The Countdown Begins: Made by Google 2026
The tech world is turning its eyes toward New York this week as Google prepares for its highly anticipated 'Made by Google' event. Scheduled for August 12, 2026, at 6 p.m. ET / 3 p.m. PT / 11 p.m. BST, the event promises to unveil the next generation of hardware, including the much-discussed Pixel 11 series and the latest wearable technology.
What to Expect at the Showcase
The star of the show will undoubtedly be the Pixel 11, which is rumored to arrive in four distinct models: the standard Pixel 11, the Pixel 11 Pro, the high-end Pixel 11 Pro XL, and the foldable Pixel 11 Pro Fold. While specific design changes remain under wraps, leaks suggest an innovative 'Pixel Glow' or 'HiLight' feature—an RGB LED on the back of the device that functions as a sophisticated notification system.
In addition to smartphones, tech enthusiasts are bracing for the debut of the Pixel Watch 5. While the design is expected to remain consistent with its predecessor, users can anticipate performance bumps through increased RAM and storage, alongside a suite of new health-tracking features. Furthermore, persistent rumors indicate that Google may finally enter the tracker market with the debut of a new 'Pixel Tag' Bluetooth tracker, designed for keeping tabs on keys, bags, and other personal items.
How to Tune In Live
As with previous years, the entire keynote presentation will be broadcast via the official Made By Google YouTube channel. Fans can access the stream directly through YouTube or watch the embedded player on technology news outlets. It is recommended that viewers set a reminder on the YouTube event page to ensure they don't miss the initial announcements, which will be delivered by host Trevor Noah, supported by various special guests.
Exclusive Pre-Order Opportunities
For those eager to get their hands on the latest hardware immediately, Google has launched a landing page on the official Google Store. Email subscribers are being offered an exclusive pre-order incentive, though details on the discount amount remain vague. These codes are limited, distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, and are set to expire on September 1, 2026.
