Google I/O 2026 is finally here. On May 19, 2026, Google will take the stage in California to announce all the new software (and perhaps some hardware) initiatives the company has been cooking up over the past year. While it will undoubtedly focus considerable attention on AI, Google may have some other announcements up its sleeve as well. If you're looking for the most up-to-date information on each and every one of those announcements, you've come to the right place.

You can check out all of Lifehacker's I/O 2026 coverage below:

From now until Google I/O concludes, I will be updating this live blog with all the updates I come across. That includes any leaks and rumors that pop up in anticipation of the show, as well as all of the revelations Google shares during the I/O keynote itself. I'll share any updates Google offers on Gemini and its features, as well as on any of its other AI models (like Nano Banana Lyria, Veo, etc.); I'll publish any updates on Android XR, the company's upcoming smart glasses UI, and whether we can expect hardware to purchase in the near future; and while Google already spilled a bunch of Android news during The Android Show: I/O Edition last week, the company may still have some Android 17 announcements to share.

Follow along with the live blog below for all the latest updates. You can also tune into CNET Group's live show, where CNET journalists will share their immediate thoughts and takeaways from the keynote.

Google isn't the only company we're thinking about today, either. Lifehacker is launching a Big Guessing Game, featuring questions about what Apple might announce at its various events this year. The entire CNET Group is participating (CNET, Mashable, PCMag, ZDNET, and Lifehacker), and you can participate in as many of the games as you want.
