Samsung is holding its Galaxy S26 launch event later than last year’s Unpacked, but it’ll still be streamed live nonetheless. Here’s how to tune in and watch the company announce the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra.
The three phones make up Samsung’s newest series, with the Galaxy S26 Edge being omitted in favor of a more consistent offering. A lot of this lineup has seemingly been rushed, with reports of late price changes affecting how much these phones have actually improved. The Galaxy S26 Ultra may be the best release for more reasons than power alone, considering it might not change in price.
Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked 2026 event will start at 1:00 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT. It will be held live in San Fransicsco, though the company is making a livestream available for its global audience.
Users can watch the livestream via a couple of outlets. Samsung.com will host the live event on its homepage, which makes it pretty easy to tune in. You can also get to the show by heading to the company’s YouTube channel. If you’re in a rush or don’t want to abandon 9to5Google‘s coverage – you’re amazing – you can also watch the stream from the embedded stream below.
There have been a healthy number of leaks in the past few weeks, so we know what to expect for the most part. The Galaxy S26 series may be a solid leader in the Android space yet again if Samsung’s changes amidst price hikes can make a case for upgrading from its previous model.
You can catch live coverage of the event on 9to5Google‘s homepage or through our Samsung section.
