Meta Connect 2026: The biggest expected announcements

Meta Connect 2026, the company’s annual product launch event, is expected to focus on artificial intelligence and wearables such as smart glasses.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his team may provide updates in those areas. The company is facing scrutiny after some users covertly recorded other people with the glasses. As a result, one of the event’s biggest announcements could be a rumored pair without cameras.

Meta Connect has also traditionally featured updates on Meta’s virtual reality hardware and software. Although the company has scaled back its virtual reality ambitions, a recent leak seemingly showing an unannounced pair of mixed reality glasses could suggest that Meta will present new immersive headwear technology during the event.

Zuckerberg’s keynote is scheduled to begin at 7PM ET / 4PM PT on Wednesday, September 23rd. The Verge said it would provide continuing coverage of the event.
