Google is holding its Made by Google 2026 keynote to showcase its newly announced Pixel hardware, with Trevor Noah hosting a celebrity-focused livestream. The event appears aimed more at mainstream viewers than dedicated technology followers, as extensive hands-on coverage of the products was already available before the broadcast.

The keynote was due to begin at 6pm Eastern Time, although the article incorrectly also lists 3pm ET, likely intending Pacific Time. Google had already revealed the Pixel 11 phones, new camera features and the Pixel Watch 5, while The Verge expected the presentation to focus on entertainment and broad consumer appeal rather than major surprises.
