How to watch the NVIDIA CES 2026 presentation live
At CES 2025, NVIDIA devoted a large part of its speech to touting its leadership position in the field of artificial intelligence. Nonetheless, the company managed to make a few notable hardware announcements, including its RTX 5000 series GPUs and its Project Digits desktop supercomputer (later renamed Spark). For this year’s show, the company’s website says it will “light up CES 2026 with the power of AI.” To that end, NVIDIA is launching in a big way in Las Vegas, promising hands-on demonstrations at its Fontainebleau booth, filled with “the latest NVIDIA solutions driving innovation and productivity across industries.”
But if you’re not in Las Vegas for the action, don’t worry. Here’s how to watch the company’s Jan. 5 press conference live stream and what NVIDIA is expected to reveal at CES this year.
How to watch the NVIDIA CES 2026 keynote
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang will deliver a 90-minute keynote at CES 2026. The event will be streamed live on Monday, January 5 at 4 p.m. ET via the NVIDIA website (and likely also on YouTube). We’ll embed the link here once it’s available.
What to expect
NVIDIA’s game plan for CES is pretty vague so far, including “cutting-edge AI, robotics, simulation, gaming, and content creation at the NVIDIA Showcase.” It also states that there will be more than 20 demos. While we don’t know if any of these will be featured during the keynote, we can at least expect to see them throughout CES week.
Given NVIDIA’s sky-high valuation and the fact that the health of the U.S. and global economies appears increasingly tied to infrastructure spending on AI data centers — largely powered by chips from NVIDIA and its competitors — Huang’s remarks are expected to be closely followed by Wall Street investors and tech acolytes alike, if not more. Will we get a glimpse of the successor to the company’s Blackwell chip? A closer look at how NVIDIA partners are applying AI to real-world robotics? Time will tell, but you may want to keep your stock portfolio on a split screen while listening to Huang’s presentation.
