ExileCon 2026 confirms livestream times and program
ExileCon 2026 will combine its latest announcements with race finals for Path of Exile and Path of Exile 2 in a free two-day broadcast. The stream times, program formats and key viewer details are now confirmed.
Dates are listed across two time zones
ExileCon 2026 now has a firm place on the calendar. The event, focused on developments surrounding Path of Exile and Path of Exile 2, will take place on November 7-8 in New Zealand time. Its two-day program will combine announcements, developer sessions and competitive finals under one event. The available details also confirm that followers of both games will be able to watch the complete program remotely.
For North American viewers, the broadcast dates are listed as November 6-7, which may initially appear to conflict with the New Zealand schedule. The dates describe the same event from different sides of the time-zone divide, not separate shows. Viewers setting calendar reminders should therefore check the NZT and PST labels carefully, especially if they intend to watch the opening presentations as they happen.
The full Twitch and YouTube broadcast is free
The entire event will be streamed free of charge on Twitch and YouTube. In Pacific time, the broadcasts begin at 12 p.m. on November 6 and 7. The keynote has a separately announced start time of 1 p.m. PST. Viewers setting reminders for the full program and the keynote should also check the conversion for their own time zone before the event.
Full-event coverage makes the convention accessible to viewers interested in more than its biggest announcements. Choosing between Twitch and YouTube also offers flexibility across devices and preferred platforms. Anyone following the feed from the start can move through the announcements, live podcasts featuring content creators, developer panels and race finals within the same broadcast rather than treating each format as a separate event.
Announcements and panels, plus race finals for both games
ExileCon 2026 will use its keynote to present the event’s latest announcements, making that presentation the central news segment of the two-day broadcast. Path of Exile and Path of Exile 2 are both represented in the program through race finals for each game. That confirmed shared competitive component gives both communities a concrete event to follow without turning expectations about the keynote into predictions about unannounced features.
Developer talks and panels will accompany the announcement segments, giving the schedule room for longer discussions instead of limiting it to headline reveals. Live podcast sessions add another format to the program, while race finals for both games provide its competitive component. This mix gives the two-day broadcast several distinct types of coverage: official news, conversations with developers, community-facing discussion and live competition, without suggesting details that have not been announced.
Co-streaming is allowed, with Drops details to follow
One important detail for creators is that co-streaming ExileCon 2026 will be permitted. Streamers who want to watch with their communities, discuss developments in real time or cover the event in another language can build broadcasts around the official feed. That policy should make community-led viewing options available alongside the primary Twitch and YouTube channels, while allowing audiences to choose the style of commentary they prefer.
New Twitch Drops will also be available, with further information promised in the coming weeks. Viewers interested in the Drops can save the broadcast dates now and complete any necessary preparation after those details arrive. For the current viewing plan, the confirmed markers are the free full broadcasts at noon PST on November 6 and 7 and the separately announced 1 p.m. PST start for the keynote.
