Google officially announces The Android Show I/O Edition, teases huge year ahead

• The Android Show I/O Edition is all set to take place on May 12 at 10 AM PT/1 PM ET.
• The pre-recorded show will be livestreamed on YouTube, giving Android its own dedicated showcase ahead of Google I/O 2026.
• Google has promised that this will be one of the biggest years for Android.

After mistakenly revealing it earlier, Google has now officially announced The Android Show I/O Edition for 2026. The online event takes place on May 12 at 10 AM PT/1 PM ET, where Google is expected to make important announcements about what’s next for Android.

The concept of The Android Show was born last year. It serves as a lead-in to Google I/O 2026, which officially kicks off on May 19 at 10 AM PT/1 PM ET. Last year, the pre-recorded event was hosted by Sameer Samat, President of the Android Ecosystem, and we expect him to do the honors once again this year.
