Apple just dropped the when and where of its Worldwide Developers Conference, which is set to begin on Monday, June 8 and end on Friday, June 12. Like last year’s conference, WWDC 2026 will primarily function as an online event open to all developers, with no associated cost.
The company also announced that its keynote speech will take place on June 8 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time. During this speech, Apple will unveil iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, tvOS 27, watchOS 27, and visionOS 27.
Apple has also announced that it will hold an in-person component for select developers and students on June 8 at the Apple Park Campus in Cupertino, California. Attendees will be invited to watch the keynote and State of the Union at Apple Park, as well as meet with Apple employees and tour the campus. Current Apple Developer Program members, Apple Entrepreneur Camp alumni, prior Swift Student Challenge winners, and current Apple Developer Enterprise Program members can enter to attend the June 8 Apple Park event, and Apple will choose participants through a random lottery. Submissions will be accepted until 11:59 p.m. PT on Monday, March 30.
Apple has also accepted submissions for its Swift Student Challenge in February, and winners will be announced soon. Entrants who are selected as Distinguished Winners will be invited to Cupertino for a multi-day experience.
For the other attendees, WWDC 2026 will feature online sessions and labs, wherein Apple will explain how to incorporate forthcoming features into their apps. The keynote speech and online sessions will be available on the Apple Developer app, Apple website, and YouTube.
