Gamers, get ready! The Summer Game Fest 2026 has been officially pronounced by Geoff Keighley, the popular host and producer behind this big gaming celebration. This exciting event, which has now replaced the famous E3 expo, will take place on June 5, 2026, live at a brand-new location — the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles!
What Is Summer Game Fest?
The Summer Game Fest is a yearly event where the biggest video game establishments come together to show off their new games, updates, and surprises. It’s like a giant party for gamers all around the world! You can watch it live online, or if you’re lucky, even attend in being.
In 2026, fans will get to see the show live from the Dolby Theatre, a famous venue in Hollywood known for hosting top events like the Oscars. Tickets will go on sale in spring 2026, so mark your calendars!
What to Expect in 2026
Geoff Keighley promised that the 2026 event will be “a spectacular, cross-platform showcase of what’s next in video games.” This means there will be lots of exciting trailers, new game announcements, and first looks at upcoming titles for PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and more.
The whole occasion will also be livestreamed on YouTube and Twitch, so gamers worldwide can join in the fun. A full schedule with all the details will be shared sometime next year.
