IGN Live 2026 returns this year to showcase some of the biggest games released and celebrate 30 years of gaming site IGN (owned by CNET’s parent company, Ziff Davis). There will also be plenty of game demos, celebrity appearances, live streams and pop culture panels during gaming’s busiest time of year.
IGN Live will be held on June 6-7 in Los Angeles and is set to be one of the biggest fan events of the year. It was scheduled during the early summer window when the long-shuttered gaming trade show E3 was being held. IGN Live, which is open to the public in contrast to the industry-only Summer Game Fest (which takes place during the same weekend), celebrates all things video games alongside anime, collectibles, entertainment, and pop culture.
