Nintendo has officially confirmed a Nintendo Direct for Tuesday, June 9, 2026. The announcement came through the Nintendo Today app, with the event starting at 7:00 AM PT / 10:00 AM ET / 3:00 PM UK.
The showcase will run for roughly 50 minutes and cover upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch games. Right after, a Nintendo Treehouse: Live event will follow for around 95 minutes, featuring gameplay of select titles from the Direct.
First Major Direct Since September 2025
This is the first general Nintendo Direct of 2026 and the first of its kind since last September. Earlier in the year, Nintendo held a Partner Showcase in February, along with smaller game-specific presentations.
Nintendo has held a June Direct every year since 2012. Some years have been game-specific, while older June Directs tied into E3 and offered a broader look at Nintendo’s upcoming lineup.
This month also marks one year since the Nintendo Switch 2 launched. The console is Nintendo’s fastest-selling ever and has reached 19.86 million units sold as of March 31, 2026.
The Nintendo Direct will be available to watch on YouTube. The Nintendo Today app and Nintendo’s official website will also carry the stream.
