The clock above counts down to IFA Berlin 2026, Europe's largest consumer-tech trade show, scheduled for September 4-8, 2026 at Messe Berlin in Germany. Show floors open the morning of September 4 at 10:00 CEST, with corporate keynotes anchoring the preceding press days.
IFA Berlin is the second-largest consumer-electronics trade show in the world after CES and the most important calendar moment for European retail buyers. It draws 1,800+ exhibitors and 200,000+ attendees across five days at Messe Berlin, spanning consumer electronics, home appliances (white goods), audio, mobile, AI PCs, smart home, and TVs. Press days precede the public opening, with Samsung, LG, Bosch, Siemens, Lenovo, Honor, Acer, ASUS, Anker, and many more delivering corporate keynotes.
The 2026 edition arrives with AI PCs maturing into a mainstream category, smart-home interoperability stabilising around Matter, and the European appliance giants pushing AI features into kitchens, laundry, and HVAC. IFA's growing emphasis on sustainability and right-to-repair shapes much of the public messaging.
Samsung typically headlines press days with smart home, TV, and appliance reveals. LG, Bosch, Siemens, Miele, Sharp, and Panasonic follow with appliance and TV launches. Lenovo, Acer, ASUS, MSI, and HP unveil refreshed Copilot+ PCs and gaming laptops. Honor, OnePlus, and a wave of Chinese OEMs use IFA as their European launch venue for foldables and flagship phones.
Expect heavy programming on AI in everyday devices, Matter-compatible smart home, energy efficiency (a major European regulatory emphasis), and the next generation of OLED / micro-LED TVs.
Press conferences from major brands stream on each company's YouTube channel and on ifa-berlin.com. Most press-day keynotes air between 09:00 and 18:00 CEST on September 2-3, 2026, ahead of the public show floors opening at 10:00 CEST on September 4. Time-zone equivalents for the typical 10:00 CEST keynote slot: 04:00 ET, 01:00 PT, 09:00 BST, 13:30 IST, and 17:00 JST.
