E3 is coming, E3 is coming!
It’s almost time for Christmas in June. Yes, E3 2016 is just around the corner. As the official streaming partner of E3 (#E3onTwitch), we’re bringing you all the coverage you can handle. And probably even a little bit more. Here’s how all of E3 on Twitch, powered by T-Mobile, is going down.
This E3 marks Twitch’s fifth birthday, so we decided to pull out all the stops and kick off our exclusive coverage earlier than ever before. Why start on Day 0, when you can start on Day -1?
For those of you watching from home, visit our E3 Event Page for all the streams and schedules. From the very first press conference to the moment they kick us out of the show, that is where you’ll find all our E3 content in one place.
From there, join our hosts djWHEAT, Jon Carnage, Anna Prosser, FutureManGaming, MANvsGAME, Ezekiel_iii, Swiftor, Alex Corea, SeltzerPlease, and Kelly Link as they hold your hand through what will be an epic five-day event. Once you’ve recovered from the bombshells dropped at the press conferences and the insanity of the Pre-Pre Show, make sure to stay tuned for our Main Event coverage from the Twitch booth. We’re showcasing live gameplay reveals and interviews with Ubisoft, Warner Bros. Interactive, Deep Silver, Microsoft, Sega, Sony, 2K, EA, SQUARE ENIX, NEXON, Paradox Interactive, and many more! Again, you can see a complete schedule of all the good stuff on the E3 Event Page.

Co-Streaming returns!
Last year, Co-Streaming was the talk of E3. Streamers were able to host the official Twitch streams from their own channels to experience the event as both a viewer and broadcaster together with their friends and communities. In fact, 35% of all viewers watched our E3 2015 coverage via a co-stream. With a splash like that, we had to bring it back for this year’s show! All you need to do is set your “Game” to “E3 2016” and scrape the feed from twitch.tv/twitch and you’re set to broadcast your very own coverage of E3 2016. Not to fear, every major press conference will be streamed on /Twitch, so you’ll be able to co-stream all the biggest moments from the show.
Foreign Language Broadcasts
E3 is a big deal around the globe, so this year we’re proudly including multiple remote co-streams from around the world hosted by local partners as a part of our E3 on Twitch, powered by T-Mobile coverage. This includes RocketBeantsTV (German), Jeuxvideo (France), welovegames (Russia), Alexelcapo (Spain), and Twitchkr (Korea), with additional countries to be announced soon. They will all be commentating in their native languages as they interpret and showcase E3 in their respective countries. Next we’ll tackle world peace.
Going to the show?
We’d love to see you! Stop by the Twitch Booth (#1401 South Hall) to see our stream live and in person. You may even spot some of your favorite streamers broadcasting live from the Intel Broadcaster Zone.
Happy birthday to us
Five years ago, Twitch was born at E3 2011. Now we’re five years older, wiser, and more beautiful :kappa: To celebrate turning the big 0–5, we’re throwing a party and everyone is invited. We’ll be throwing down at The Belasco on June 14th at 9PM PT, with a limited number of 21+ general admission tickets available on a first come, first served basis, so get there early!
