It might feel like we’ve only just counted down to 2026, but it’s already been a pretty busy year. In the tech industry, much of the news is coming from the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which officially opens tomorrow (January 6) but has already mostly kicked off.
Today marks press day, which is when you’ll see many companies host press conferences to showcase their announcements. Last night, Samsung already held its First Look presentation, where it unveiled products across its home entertainment and appliance portfolios. Lego unveiled its new Smart Brick technology, and NVIDIA is set to show off its latest AI announcements later today. Engadget has a team on the ground that’s already been hard at work, covering pre-show events, checking out new gadgets in person and writing them up all for you to read wherever you are.
Our liveblog will continue over the course of the week, where we’ll share all the biggest news (and also maybe some medium and small tidbits) as it happens. You’ll also get insight and commentary on other goings-on here in Las Vegas, whether that be random celebrity sightings, odd weather phenomena or snack evaluations. Keep this page open, and you might just feel like you’re here at CES 2026 with us!
