One of the most exciting times of the year for Apple fans is coming soon. WWDC is held every June, and this year will mark the launch of iOS 27 and much more.

When will Apple announce and hold WWDC this year? Head below for our expectations.

When will Apple announce WWDC 2026?

Apple generally announces WWDC in March. Here’s when the announcements have been made in recent years:

2017: February 16
2018: March 13
2019: March 14
2020: March 13
2021: March 30
2022: April 5
2023: March 29
2024: March 26

Apple is incredibly consistent, so I expect WWDC 2026 to be announced sometime in the last week of March.

When will WWDC 2026 be?

The announcement of WWDC, of course, is only part of the story. The event itself is usually held during the first or second week of June. Here are the dates for previous WWDC festivities:

2017: June 5-9
2018: June 4-8
2019: June 3-7
2020: June 22-26
2021: June 7-11
2022: June 6-10
2023: June 5-9
2024: June 10-14
2025: June 9-13

Again, Apple is remarkably consistent here. I’d expect WWDC 2026 to be held June 8 to June 12, with the keynote itself kicking things off on Monday, June 8.

WWDC 2026: What to expect

At WWDC, Apple will announce its next round of operating systems for all of its platforms, including:

iOS 27
macOS 27
visionOS 27
watchOS 27
tvOS 27
iPadOS 27

Rumors suggest that iOS 27 will focus on fixing bugs and improving overall stability. The update will also lay the groundwork for the first foldable iPhone, which is reportedly launching later this year. Apple is also continuing to develop new Apple Intelligence features and actually ship the features it announced way back at WWDC 2024.
