FFXIV 2026 Fan Fest keynote: Start time and where to watch

The 2026 Final Fantasy XIV Fan Fest kicks off soon, as Square Enix starts the process of shifting away from Dawntrail toward whatever comes next. The keynote starts at 10 a.m. PDT on Friday, April 24, and Square Enix says it’ll last a little more than two hours. You can watch it on the FFXIV YouTube channel (separate streams for Friday and Saturday) and the game’s official Twitch channel.
