For the second year in a row, Google will be hosting “The Android Show | I/O Edition” before I/O 2026.
A week before the May 19-20 developer conference, Google will stream The Android Show on Tuesday, May 12 at 10 a.m. PT.
In the YouTube description (which is currently unlisted), Google teases that “this is going to be one of the biggest years for Android yet.”
This is going to be one of the biggest years for Android yet. Tune in to The Android Show | I/O Edition on Tuesday May 12 at 10 AM PT and be the first to take a look at what the future holds.
In 2025, Google announced Material 3 Expressive, Find Hub, and the Gemini expansion to Android Auto, Wear OS, and Google TV. We still saw Android (XR) during the I/O keynote, but the majority of OS announcements came a week earlier.
Google is repeating that format for 2026. Expect consumer-facing announcements at The Android Show, with developer updates happening at I/O.
