During CES 2025, we saw NVIDIA spend most of the presentation touting its leadership position in the artificial intelligence field. But it did reveal some new hardware, including its RTX 5000-series GPUs and the Project Digit desktop supercomputer (later named Spark). This year, the company’s website says it’s “lighting up CES 2026 with the power of AI.” To that end, NVIDIA is pulling out all the stops at its Vegas installation, promising hands-on demos in its booth in Fontainebleau, replete with “the latest NVIDIA solutions that drive innovation and productivity across industries.”
But don’t worry if you’re not on the field in Vegas. Here’s how you can watch a livestream of the company’s January 5 press conference, and what to expect from NVIDIA at CES this year.
How to watch the NVIDIA CES 2026 keynote
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang to deliver a 90-minute keynote at CES 2026 The event will be livestreamed via NVIDIA’s website (and possibly YouTube as well) on January 5 at 4 PM ET. We’ll embed the link here as soon as it’s available.
what to expect
NVIDIA’s game plan for CES is suitably vague so far, involving “cutting-edge AI, robotics, simulation, gaming and content creation in an NVIDIA showcase.” It also notes that there will be more than 20 demos. Although we’re unsure whether all of these will be shown during the keynote, we can at least expect to see them throughout the week of CES.
Given NVIDIA’s sky-high valuation and the fact that the health of the US and global economy is increasingly tied to infrastructure spending on AI data centers – largely powered by chips from NVIDIA and its rivals – expect Huang’s comments to be watched as closely by Wall Street investors as technology keepers, if not more so. Will we get any information about a successor to the company’s Blackwell chip? Take a more detailed look at how NVIDIA partners are applying AI to real-world robotics? Time will tell, but you may want to keep your stock portfolio in split screen while taking in Huang’s presentation.
