The short answer
CES 2027 runs Wednesday, January 6 to Saturday, January 9, 2027, in Las Vegas, with media days on January 4 and 5. The Consumer Technology Association (CTA) has confirmed three keynotes so far: Waymo, Stellantis and Lenovo. CES is a trade-only show, so most people follow it online, and most of the products you see there ship months later.
- Show floor: January 6–9, 2027, across 13 official venues on three campuses (LVCC, Venetian and C Space).
- Keynotes confirmed: Tekedra Mawakana (Waymo), Antonio Filosa (Stellantis) and Yuanqing Yang (Lenovo, at Sphere).
- Tickets: Standard Pass $149 through November 30, then $349. Industry affiliation and age 18+ required.
- Big themes: AI in physical devices, robotics, the largest mobility area CES has run, and a new Health Hub.

CES 2027 is the next edition of CES, the giant annual technology trade show in Las Vegas where companies preview TVs, laptops, cars, robots and health gadgets for the year ahead. The Consumer Technology Association, the US trade group that owns and produces CES, opened registration in the fall and has started to name keynote speakers and exhibitors.
This guide covers only what CTA and exhibitors have confirmed as of November 13, 2026. Where nothing is announced, we show what CES 2026 brought instead, clearly labeled, and we will update this page during the show.
When Is CES 2027? Dates, Hours and Venues
CES 2027 runs from Wednesday, January 6 through Saturday, January 9, 2027, in Las Vegas, Nevada. However, the news starts earlier: CTA’s dates and hours page lists Media Day 1 and Media Day 2 on Monday, January 4 and Tuesday, January 5 at Mandalay Bay, plus CES Unveiled Las Vegas (a media-only preview event) on January 4.
So for the first wave of TV, laptop and appliance news, watch January 4 and 5, before the floor opens.
CES 2027 schedule at a glance
| Day | What happens | Exhibit hours (PT) |
|---|---|---|
| Mon, Jan 4 | Media Day 1 at Mandalay Bay; CES Unveiled Las Vegas (media only) | Closed |
| Tue, Jan 5 | Media Day 2 at Mandalay Bay | Closed |
| Wed, Jan 6 | Show opens; State of the Industry address; Stellantis and Lenovo keynotes; show floor press conferences | 10 a.m.–6 p.m. |
| Thu, Jan 7 | Exhibits, conference sessions, show floor press conferences | 9 a.m.–6 p.m. |
| Fri, Jan 8 | Exhibits and conference sessions; last day for CES Foundry and C Space | 9 a.m.–6 p.m. |
| Sat, Jan 9 | Final, shorter show day | 9 a.m.–4 p.m. |
Where is the show held?
CTA’s maps page lists 13 official venues grouped into three campuses: the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) campus, the Venetian campus and the C Space campus at ARIA, which hosts the marketing and entertainment crowd. In addition, CES Foundry, the show’s AI and quantum computing hub, returns to the Fontainebleau Las Vegas from January 6 to 8, and the new CES Health Hub sits at the Venetian Expo.
Who Are the CES 2027 Keynote Speakers?
Three CES 2027 keynote speakers are confirmed as of November 13, 2026: Waymo co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana, Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa, and Lenovo chairman and CEO Yuanqing Yang. CTA’s keynotes page lists those three names and says more announcements are coming.
| Speaker | Company | When (PT) | Where | Topic |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tekedra Mawakana, co-CEO | Waymo (Alphabet’s self-driving car company) | Wed, Jan 6, 1:00 p.m. | Palazzo Ballroom, Venetian | Safety standards, international expansion, fleet plans |
| CTA State of the Industry | Consumer Technology Association | Wed, Jan 6, 8:30 a.m. | Palazzo Ballroom, Venetian | Opening address |
| Antonio Filosa, CEO | Stellantis (owner of Jeep, Ram, Dodge and Chrysler) | Wed, Jan 6, after the opening address | Palazzo Ballroom, Venetian | Human-centered mobility |
| Yuanqing Yang, chairman and CEO | Lenovo | Wed, Jan 6, 5 p.m. | Sphere, Las Vegas | Lenovo Tech World and its Hybrid AI strategy |
Notably, two of the three keynotes come from the car world. Meanwhile, Lenovo returns to Sphere, the giant LED-covered Las Vegas venue, for its Tech World event; according to CTA’s October 7 release, only credentialed CES attendees can get in.
Watch out. CTA’s earlier announcement put the Waymo keynote on the evening of January 5, but the official CES keynotes page now lists it for Wednesday, January 6, at 1:00 p.m. PT. We use the keynotes page; check the official CES schedule closer to the date, because keynote slots can move.
Can You Attend? Who Qualifies, Tickets and Prices
No, CES is not open to the general public. CTA’s registration information page says the show is trade-only, and every attendee must be 18 or older and work in or with the consumer technology industry.
Registration types
- Attendee: for business and industry professionals, consultants and investors, with proof of industry affiliation.
- Media: for working journalists, editors, analysts, broadcast crews and qualifying digital content creators. Publishers, PR and marketing staff and sales reps do not qualify.
- Exhibitor personnel: booth staff and contractors, registered by their company’s registration coordinator.
CES 2027 ticket prices and deadlines
| Pass | Through Nov 30, 2026 | Dec 1, 2026 to Jan 9, 2027 | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Pass | $149 | $349 | Exhibit floor, keynotes, Great Minds sessions, select conference sessions |
| Premium Pass | $1,450 | $1,750 | All conference sessions and tracks, plus extra perks |
| Customized pass | Varies | Varies | Standard Pass plus the tracks you pick |
In practice, the Standard Pass more than doubles on December 1, so anyone who qualifies should register before November 30. Also, CTA says credential reviews can take up to five business days. Cancellations sent in writing by December 9, 2026 get a refund minus a $50 processing fee; after that date, CTA issues no refunds.
Pro tip. If you see a “CES 2027 discount code” online, use it only if it comes straight from an exhibitor you work with or from CTA, and always register through the official ces.tech link rather than a third-party site.
What to Expect at CES 2027, Category by Category
Expect AI built into physical products, more robots, a record-size car and mobility area, and a bigger health tech presence at CES 2027. Below, each category shows what CTA or the companies have confirmed. Where nothing is confirmed yet, we show what CES 2026 brought last January, labeled as last year’s show, because CES themes tend to carry forward.
AI devices and agents
Confirmed for 2027: CES Foundry grows from two days to three and focuses on agentic AI, meaning software that carries out tasks for you instead of only answering questions, according to an October 2026 preview in audioXpress. CTA lists AWS, NVIDIA, Deloitte and D-Wave among the Foundry sponsors. In addition, early Innovation Awards honorees in the AI category include the Lawaken X Pro AI Memory Glasses, which record conversations and turn them into notes and follow-ups.
What CES 2026 showed: AI moved into gadgets you can touch. For example, Engadget’s roundup listed Amazon bringing Alexa+ to a web browser, AI recording wearables such as the $179 Plaud NotePin S, and a wave of AI companion robots.
TVs and displays
Confirmed for 2027: LG says its LG SIGNATURE OLED T6, a 77-inch transparent OLED TV that gets its picture wirelessly from a separate box, won a Best of Innovation award, the program’s top honor. LG’s Wallpaper TV, the OLED evo AI W7, also won an award in Video Displays. Beyond LG, no TV maker has detailed its CES 2027 lineup as of November 13, 2026.
What CES 2026 showed: Samsung pushed Micro RGB TVs from 55 to 115 inches, with the 115-inch model at $29,999, plus a 130-inch concept. Meanwhile, LG showed Micro RGB sets and a 100-inch Wallpaper OLED, according to Engadget.
PCs and chips
Confirmed for 2027: Lenovo’s Sphere keynote centers on its Hybrid AI strategy across devices and infrastructure, and AMD appears on CTA’s list of mobility exhibitors. However, Intel, AMD, Qualcomm and Nvidia have not announced CES 2027 chip launches as of November 13, 2026.
What CES 2026 showed: Intel launched Core Ultra Series 3, its first chips on the 18A process; AMD added the Ryzen AI 400 series; Qualcomm showed Snapdragon X2 Plus; and Dell brought back the XPS line. So if you plan to buy a laptop in early 2027, it is worth waiting to see what replaces these. Our best AI laptop picks cover what you can buy today.
Cars, robotaxis and mobility
Confirmed for 2027: CTA’s November 2 mobility release promises more than 350,000 square feet of vehicle tech in West Hall and Central Plaza, its largest mobility footprint ever. The named exhibitors include BMW, Bosch, Ford, Kia, Stellantis, Uber, Waymo, Garmin, John Deere and Caterpillar. Waymo also says attendees can ride its fully driverless cars, since Las Vegas became its 15th US market, and its booth is 3741 in West Hall.
What CES 2026 showed: Sony Honda Mobility said its Afeela 1 would start shipping in late 2026 in California, and Ford said its AI assistant would reach vehicles in 2027. For context on buying an EV now, see our guide to the best electric cars of 2026.
Health tech and wearables
Confirmed for 2027: CTA’s November 12 health preview lists more than 115 health exhibitors across 60,000-plus square feet, including Abbott, Dexcom, Withings, Philips Personal Health, Polar, Renpho and RingConn. Abbott presents the first CES Health Hub at the Venetian Expo. CTA also says 33 digital health products won Innovation Awards, and that 42% of US households now own a smartwatch.
Furthermore, CTA plans to announce a new wearables standard, called Wearable Performance and Trust, at the show. Korean wellness company Ceragem also says it won nine Innovation Awards for eight AI health products, according to The Korea Times.
Smart home
Confirmed for 2027: LG’s early honorees include a 30-inch combination wall oven, a 25-inch Closet Fit WashTower and a hair dryer. Otherwise, no major smart home launches are confirmed as of November 13, 2026.
What CES 2026 showed: GE Profile showed a $4,899 smart fridge with a barcode scanner, and IKEA added cheap Matter bulbs and plugs, according to Engadget.
Robotics
Confirmed for 2027: Agility’s Digit 5, a humanoid robot for warehouses and factories, appears on CTA’s list of 2027 Robotics honorees. In addition, audioXpress reports a “Next Wave of Physical AI” show tour at the LVCC and Venetian, which suggests CTA expects many robot exhibitors again.
What CES 2026 showed: Boston Dynamics presented a production-ready Atlas humanoid trained with Google DeepMind’s models, SwitchBot planned its Onero H1 home robot at under $10,000, and LG showed its CLOiD household robot as a concept.
Gaming
Confirmed for 2027: LG’s UltraGear 25G590B won in Gaming and eSports; LG calls it the first monitor with a native 1,000Hz refresh rate at Full HD. Beyond that, no console or GPU news is confirmed for CES 2027.
What CES 2026 showed: Nvidia released DLSS 4.5, LG showed a 540Hz OLED monitor at $1,000, and Lenovo announced a SteamOS Legion Go 2 for $1,199.
Which Big Companies Are Confirmed for CES 2027?
CTA and the companies themselves have confirmed a long list of carmakers, suppliers and health brands, but few big consumer electronics names have announced press events yet. The table below only includes companies named by CTA or by the company’s own announcement.
| Area | Confirmed companies | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Keynotes | Waymo, Stellantis, Lenovo | CTA keynote releases |
| Mobility | AMD, Aptiv, BMW, Bosch, Brunswick, Caterpillar, Corning, Ford, Garmin, Geely Auto, John Deere, Kia, LG Innotek, Uber, Valeo, Waymo and more | CTA mobility release, Nov 2 |
| Health | Abbott, AARP AgeTech Collaborative, Dexcom, Philips Personal Health, Polar, Renpho, RingConn, Withings and more | CTA health release, Nov 12 |
| AI and quantum (CES Foundry sponsors) | AWS, Deloitte, NVIDIA, D-Wave, EY, PwC | ces.tech CES Foundry page |
| Innovation Award winners | LG Electronics, Ceragem, Agility | LG newsroom, Korea Times, ces.tech |
Samsung, Sony and Nvidia held major events at CES 2026, but none had announced a CES 2027 press conference as of November 13, 2026. Apple has not announced any CES 2027 plans either; for its next phone, our iPhone 18 guide tracks the latest separately.
What Are the CES Innovation Awards 2027 Honorees?
CTA announced the first CES Innovation Awards 2027 honorees on November 9, 2026, and plans to reveal more at the show on January 4, 2027. The Innovation Awards are CTA’s yearly product honors, judged before the show; “Best of Innovation” is the top tier in each category.
The Gadgeteer reported that 349 products made the list, with 38 earning Best of Innovation. The honorees we confirmed on CTA’s site or the company’s own newsroom include:
- LG SIGNATURE OLED T6: Best of Innovation, Art Tech. According to the LG newsroom, LG OLED TVs have now won Best of Innovation at five CES shows in a row.
- LG OLED evo AI W7 and LG UltraGear 25G590B: honorees in Video Displays and Gaming and eSports.
- Lawaken X Pro AI Memory Glasses: honoree, Artificial Intelligence.
- Agility Digit 5: honoree, Robotics and Supply and Logistics.
- Ceragem AI Wellness Home: honoree, Artificial Intelligence, one of Ceragem’s nine awards.
How Can You Follow CES 2027 From Home?
Most people follow CES through keynote streams, company press conferences and live news coverage, because the show floor is closed to the public. CTA has not published CES 2027 livestream details as of November 13, 2026, but its keynotes page already hosts recordings of CES 2026 keynotes, including AMD and Lenovo Tech World, and CES Foundry sessions from 2026 are on demand.
- Mark January 4 and 5. Most TV, appliance and laptop news drops on the media days, before the floor opens.
- Convert the times. Las Vegas runs on Pacific Time, so Lenovo’s 5 p.m. PT Sphere show starts at 8 p.m. ET.
- Use official channels first. Check the ces.tech keynotes page and each company’s own newsroom or YouTube channel for stream links, which usually appear in the days before the event.
- Follow a live blog. Major tech sites run live coverage; for example, Engadget published a full “everything announced” roundup during CES 2026.
When Do CES Products Actually Ship?
Most CES products ship months after the show, and some never ship at all. Last year’s dates prove the point: several of the headline CES 2026 products had ship windows from spring to late 2026, and a few were concepts with no date.
| Shown at CES 2026 (January) | Stated availability | Gap after the show |
|---|---|---|
| Throne gut-health toilet camera | February 2026 | About 1 month |
| Withings Body Scan 2 | Spring 2026 | 3 to 5 months |
| GE Profile smart fridge | April 2026 | About 3 months |
| Lenovo Legion Go 2 (SteamOS) | June 2026 | About 5 months |
| Sony Honda Afeela 1 | Shipments from late 2026, California first | Most of a year |
| Ford AI assistant in vehicles | 2027 | A year or more |
| LG CLOiD home robot | Concept, no date | Unknown |
Therefore, a simple rule works well: if a CES product has a price and a month, treat it as real but expect a few months’ wait. If it only has a “later this year” window, expect delays. And if it has neither, treat it as a concept.
Pro tip. Thinking of skipping a Black Friday TV or laptop deal to wait for CES 2027? For most people that is a mistake, because new CES models usually arrive at full price in spring. Instead, buy now if the deal is good, and wait only if you want a specific new feature.
Our verdict
CES 2027 looks set to be a show about AI leaving the screen: in cars, robots, glasses and health devices. The confirmed details so far favor mobility, with two car-world keynotes and a record vehicle area, while TV, PC and gaming news will mostly break on the January 4 and 5 media days.
If you work in the industry and qualify, register before November 30 to pay $149 instead of $349. Everyone else should follow along from home, and judge each launch by its price and ship date rather than its stage demo.

The exhibit floor opens at 10 a.m. PT on January 6 and closes at 4 p.m. PT on the final Saturday.
Is CES 2027 open to the public?
No. CES 2027 is a trade-only event, so the general public cannot buy tickets. The Consumer Technology Association requires every attendee to be 18 or older and connected to the consumer technology industry, with proof of affiliation. Regular consumers can still follow the keynotes, press conferences and live news coverage online during the show.
How much does a CES 2027 ticket cost?
A CES 2027 Standard Pass costs $149 through November 30, 2026, and $349 from December 1. A Premium Pass, which adds every conference session and track, costs $1,450 through November 30 and $1,750 after that. Written cancellations by December 9, 2026 get a refund minus a $50 fee, and CTA gives no refunds after that.

Can I watch CES 2027 keynotes online?
CTA has not published CES 2027 livestream details as of November 13, 2026. However, the CES keynotes page already hosts recordings of CES 2026 keynotes, such as AMD and Lenovo Tech World, and companies usually stream their own press events on their newsrooms or YouTube channels. Check those official pages in the days before the show.
Should I wait for CES 2027 before buying a TV or laptop?
For most buyers, no. Products shown at CES usually reach stores months later, often in spring or later, and at full price. A good Black Friday deal on a current TV or laptop is usually the better buy. Wait only if you specifically want a new feature, and expect to pay launch pricing for it.
