How to Get Reminders and Updates for Summer Game Fest 2026
Updated
You can sign up on summergamefest.com with either an email address or a phone number to receive updates about the schedule, official dates, times, and tickets, and you can use the site's "Remind me" option to be notified when the event goes live. Both signup paths are visible on the homepage, so you don't need an account or any special access to register your interest.
What the site actually offers
The homepage presents two distinct notification paths, plus a co-stream option:
| Option | Where it appears | What it's for |
|---|---|---|
| Email signup | Homepage form ("Get a reminder… when Summer Game Fest goes live") | Schedule releases, official dates, times, and tickets |
| Phone signup | Same form, marked "OR Phone number" | Same updates via text |
| "Remind me" | Homepage and Schedule section | A prompt when the show goes live |
| Co-stream signup | "Sign up to co-stream" link | Registering to co-stream the event |
The site confirms signup with a "Thank you! You have signed up for updates." message. If something fails, it shows "Oops! Something went wrong while submitting the form." — in that case, retry or switch between the email and phone options.
Step by step: set up your reminder
- Open summergamefest.com. The signup form sits near the top of the homepage, under the "Get a reminder… when Summer Game Fest goes live" heading.
- Choose email or phone. Enter your email address in the email field, or use the phone number field marked "OR Phone number." You only need one.
- Submit the form. A confirmation message should appear on the page. If you see the error message instead, try the other contact method.
- Expect updates on schedule and tickets. The site states signups are how you'll "be the first to know about our schedule when it releases, official dates, times and tickets."
- Use "Remind me" for the live show. The Remind me option appears both on the homepage and in the Schedule section, and is described as notifying you when the event goes live.
Expected result: you're on the update list and will hear about schedule and ticket details as they're released, plus a prompt when the broadcast starts.
Key dates to anchor your reminder
The 2026 flagship show is confirmed for Friday, June 5, 2026, live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, hosted by Geoff Keighley and Lucy James. The listed air time is 2pm PT / 5pm ET / 9pm GMT. Set your own calendar alert for that window as a backup — the site's reminder is a prompt, not a guarantee you'll see it in time.
If you want to co-stream
The homepage includes a "Sign up to co-stream" link alongside the live and replay buttons. Use it if you plan to broadcast the show on your own channel; it's a separate registration from the general updates list, so signing up for one doesn't cover the other.
Common snags
- Form error on submit: the site's own error message suggests a submission failure rather than a rejection. Retry, or switch from email to phone (or vice versa).
- Looking for a full schedule: the Schedule section currently lists individual showcases (Partner Showcases, Community Spotlights, and Flagship Events such as PlayStation State of Play and Day of the Devs), many marked "Coming Soon." Signing up is the stated way to learn when the full schedule lands.
- Wanting to watch now: the site offers "Watch live now" and "Watch the replay" buttons, plus a link to the SGF Steam page — useful if you've missed the live window.
What you won't find confirmed
The site does not publish ticket prices, sale dates, or whether watching requires any login. Treat any specific ticket cost or on-sale date you see elsewhere as unconfirmed until it appears in an official update — which is exactly what the signup is for.
