The June 2026 livestreams are over. You can still look for the official Summer Game Fest and Xbox Games Showcase replays through the organizers’ event pages and first-party channels. The Xbox presentation was followed immediately by a separate Gears of War: E-Day Direct. Ubisoft Forward has no 2026 date or livestream confirmed in the official sources checked.
This guide reflects the events’ archived status as of August 18, 2026; the original live schedule is included for reference.

Summer Game Fest 2026 replay
Summer Game Fest’s main showcase took place Friday, June 5, from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. The official event page is the best starting point for the event listing and links to the Summer Game Fest and The Game Awards’ YouTube and Twitch destinations. If the page does not surface a replay directly, visit one of those official channels and check its video archive.

The available official listing confirms the date and destinations, but not a dependable exact start time in the source information used here. For that reason, this guide does not supply a guessed time. The same caution applies to accessibility: the listing cited here does not verify specific caption, audio-description, sign-language, or language feeds for this show.
Xbox Games Showcase and the Gears of War: E-Day Direct
The Xbox Games Showcase aired Sunday, June 7, at 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. ET. That was 6 p.m. BST and 7 p.m. CEST on the same calendar day. It was June 8 in Japan and some Australian time zones. The showcase was followed immediately by a separate Gears of War: E-Day Direct, so the Direct was not a pre-show and did not have a separately specified fixed start time.

For the replay, start with Xbox Wire’s official how-to-watch guide or the Summer Game Fest Xbox event listing. Xbox documented distribution on Xbox YouTube (including a 4K60 feed), Xbox Twitch, Xbox ASL Twitch, Xbox Facebook, regional Xbox and Bethesda channels, Steam, and Bilibili in China. In the United States, Amazon Live and Prime Video on Fire TV were also listed.

Was there a Ubisoft Forward in 2026?
No 2026 Ubisoft Forward date, time, or official livestream was verified in the official sources checked for this guide. Ubisoft’s news page, press center, and Ubisoft Forward page are useful places to check for a first-party announcement, but they do not establish a 2026 show in the material reviewed here.
That is not proof that Ubisoft could never announce a broadcast elsewhere or later; it means there is no verified 2026 livestream to schedule or link as a confirmed event here. Do not rely on dates, Twitch Drops, free-game promotions, or accessibility details from older Ubisoft Forward guides as evidence for 2026.

Finding a replay if a link does not work
- Open the organizer’s event page linked above and follow its official channel links.
- If a direct video is unavailable, open YouTube or Twitch and search for the named official channel—Summer Game Fest, The Game Awards, or Xbox—then check its video archive rather than only the live tab.
- For Xbox, use the viewing guide to find the appropriate regional or accessibility feed. A replay may be listed separately from the main feed.
- If an event page opens but has no live player, remember that the June broadcasts have ended; the page may be an archived listing rather than a current stream.
Official organizer pages are the most reliable starting point for replays and accessibility feeds. Editorial simulcasts can be useful alternatives, but their links, commentary, regional access, and availability are controlled by the third party, not the event organizer.
