Minecraft Live announced for September 26, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. PT

• According to reports, the date was revealed at the end of Tubbo’s stream, right after the Blue Creeper Battle.
• A short cinematic thanked players and teased a portal to the Sift, but its role in the base game has not been confirmed.

What happened

Mojang has scheduled Minecraft Live for September 26, 2026. The broadcast begins at 10:00 a.m. PT, which works out to 1:00 p.m. ET, 6:00 p.m. GMT, and 7:00 p.m. CEST. The provided sources do not mention a runtime for the show, so it is still unclear how long the broadcast will last.

According to reports, the announcement appeared at the end of Tubbo’s stream. Right after the Blue Creeper Battle, a short cinematic played thanking players for taking part. The timing of that reveal lines up with the TubboLIVE source, which explicitly says the next Minecraft Live would take place “this weekend” and that the stream starts on September 26, 2026 at 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. GMT / 7 p.m. CEST.

That same video also reportedly showed a portal to the Sift. In the provided context, the Sift is already known from Minecraft Dungeons 2, while speculation about a possible role in the base game has not been confirmed. The source also notes that many players think the Sift could come to the Minecraft base game as well, but that remains an unconfirmed assumption.

The promotional campaign around this announcement reportedly began on September 17, 2026, with activations tied to Tokyo Game Show, YouTube, and Bedrock Edition worlds. Twitch Drops and 1 million Corrupted Creeper Cape codes were also mentioned. In the external context, an event site for “TOKYO CRISIS | Minecraft Dungeons II” is also referenced, with mentions of a “Massive Creeper” and a global attack via YouTube or Minecraft, underscoring the broader promotional setup around this period.

Background

The sources connect the Sift primarily to Minecraft Dungeons 2. At the same time, the reporting speculates that the dimension could also come to the Minecraft base game, but that has not been confirmed. The provided context makes clear that the Sift teaser comes from a promotional cinematic rather than an official Mojang confirmation about the base game.

Minecraft Live is described in the provided context as a broadcast featuring upcoming game drops and behind-the-scenes information. At this point, only the date, start time, and the promotional teaser around the Sift are confirmed. The TubboLIVE source also explicitly says this is the next Minecraft Live after the release of the new update, but it does not give any details about what announcements will follow during the show.

The external context around the campaign points to multiple channels at once: YouTube, Bedrock Edition worlds, Twitch Drops, and a Tokyo Game Show activation. The mentioned Corrupted Creeper Cape codes and the reference to 1 million codes show that the promotion was not just about a date, but part of a broader rewards campaign. The Tokyo Game Show page for “TOKYO CRISIS | Minecraft Dungeons II” also mentions a “Massive Creeper” and a global attack, which fits the theme of the Blue Creeper Battle and the cinematic that thanked players after the showdown.

The source also notes that the Sift is already known from Minecraft Dungeons 2, so the teaser is not disconnected from earlier Minecraft-related content. Even so, the leap to the base game remains speculative. That makes the announcement concrete in two ways: the scheduled date and time for Minecraft Live, and the promotional buildup around it through Tubbo’s stream and the Blue Creeper Battle.
