It’s rare that we have two confirmed Google events this close together, but with the Android Show happening today – May 12, 2026 – Google’s next event is right around the corner on May 19, 2026, as that’s the day Google I/O kicks off.
The latter is Google’s developer conference and typically fairly focused on platforms, software, and, in recent years, AI. Considering today’s event is dubbed ‘Android Show 2026’, that platform will likely be taking center stage, allowing Google to dive deep into what’s new with Android and highlight some of the big leaps year over year.
Hello and welcome to our Android Show 2026 live blog. I’ll be your host as we count down to the kick off at 1pm ET / 6pm BST.
Less than an hour to go
We’re less than an hour away from the Android Show kicking off, and it’s safe to say that anticipation is building for what will likely be our first major look at Android 17 and whatever else Google has been working on.
