Watch Live as LG Streams CES 2026 Press Conference

LG’s most important announcements of the year will be made on a global livestream, and you don’t have to have a trade show badge to watch. Whether you’re looking for a new flagship TV, an AI-powered laptop, or a home robot, here’s exactly where to watch the broadcast, how to get it onto the biggest screen in your house, and what to expect once the lights come up.

Where to watch the LG CES 2026 livestream online

Main feed usually live streams on LG Electronics’ official YouTube channel and the LG Global Newsroom, with a simulcast hosted by the Consumer Technology Association’s CES digital platform. Additionally, LG also usually simulcasts on social channels like X and LinkedIn, and a complete replay is posted shortly after the keynote concludes.

If you prefer a tailored experience, most major tech outlets and analyst firms often embed the feed with live commentary. That’s useful if you’re looking for context around spec sheets, chip choices, or panel tech as products are unveiled.

How to watch the LG CES 2026 stream on your TV

The simplest way is through the YouTube app on your smart TV. YouTube is natively supported by LG webOS, Google TV, Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, and most of the latest gaming consoles. Search for LG’s official channel, and then set a reminder (turn on notifications if you want it to auto-surface on your home screen).

No smart TV? Cast from a phone or laptop. Use Chromecast from an Android phone, or even cast directly from Chrome; you can also stream with AirPlay from iOS devices or a Mac. If you’re using a soundbar or AVR, try to select its input beforehand and use the “Original” or “Passthrough” audio mode in order to avoid post-processing that might mess up dialogue.

How to optimize livestream quality and reduce buffering

Stick with the resolution you want and match your bandwidth accordingly for smooth playback. YouTube recommends a general range of about 5 Mbps to stream in 1080p and about 20 Mbps for 4K. If you want the most reliable feed, use Wi‑Fi on a 5 GHz or Wi‑Fi 6/7 network, and think about connecting directly through an Ethernet cable if you can.

Close bandwidth-hungry applications, turn off VPNs that may be limiting video, and choose the highest resolution in the player options once the stream is running. If you are seeing stutter—then drop one quality setting; don’t wait for adaptive quality to catch up.

For this accessibility option, click the captions button on the player menu. YouTube offers auto-translated captions, which can be useful if you’re viewing from a place where you speak a different language or hear plenty of background chatter.

What to watch for in LG’s CES 2026 product showcase

TVs will likely lead. You can expect new OLED and MiniLED flagships, even more art-appeal designs with “gallery” models featuring decorative frames, as well as fresh spins on micro-sized LED backlighting designed for better brightness control and less blooming. Omdia’s analysts have tipped that investment in premium display tiers will continue, and LG has a history of pushing panel innovations from the show floor into the real world.

We should see a big update to monitors, with ultra-wide OLEDs and high-refresh 5K2K options for content creators and competitive gamers. Look out for AI-driven upscaling and improved anti-burn-in strategies—things that matter if you’re the sort of person to leave a display switched on 10 hours a day.

On the PC front, expect ultraportable LG gram laptops with on-device AI capabilities and extended battery life in sync with wider “AI PC” momentum tracked by outfits such as IDC. If you are knee-deep in video calls, photo edits, and cloud apps all at the same time, this combination of lightweight body and NPU-accelerated functions could be worth a second look.

Audio is another likely highlight. Look for enhanced soundbars and multi-room features that automatically calibrate throughout the house. Dolby has introduced technologies, like Atmos FlexConnect, that can intelligently mix TV and wireless-unit speakers—an approach to cinematic sound with less reliance on the perfect living-room setup.

LG has also been teasing robotics and next-gen appliances. There is ample evidence that a home robot featuring articulated arms would fit the broader automation theme at CES, and it also aligns with LG’s ongoing focus on top-shelf kitchen gear under its Signature label, which frequently incorporates AI-enhanced sensors and energy-saving modes. CES is so big that CTA says it’s attracted over 135,000 industry professionals in its latest pre-2026 edition, and smart home is one of the most crowded categories—you can expect LG to take definitive leadership positions.

Pro tips for following along during the LG CES 2026 stream

Press “Set Reminder” on the stream’s watch page to have your phone or TV ping you when the broadcast begins. If you’re at work, throw the video into picture-in-picture on desktop or mobile to track key parts without losing your focus.

Keep a notes app open and make note of model names, sizes, standout features. Product names at CES are tricky, and it’s a lot easier to compare specs if you’re capturing them in real time.

After the LG CES 2026 keynote: what to do next

Revisit the replay to catch any demos you may have missed, then peruse LG’s pressroom for spec sheets and regional availability. If you’re shopping, compare panel types (OLED vs. MiniLED), refresh rates, and I/O before you pre-order. For TVs, confirm HDMI 2.1 ports and gaming features like VRR and ALLM; for laptops, check weight, battery capacity, and claimed NPU performance.

And last, but not least: watch official LG channels for rolling releases. CES announcements typically come in waves, and early hands-on impressions from reviewers and standards bodies alike help to draw a line between headline features and everyday ones once the show floor empties out.
