In just a few days, the most exciting Minecraft event of the year goes live, complete with upcoming Minecraft updates, exclusive movie content, and an after-show where the developers give it all a try! So, today, we explore the latest news in our Minecraft Live 2025 countdown, including the Minecraft Live 2025 start time, where to watch, and potential announcements both confirmed and leaked online.

When is Minecraft Live 2025? - Start Time & Date

Minecraft Live 2025 goes live at 1 PM ET on Saturday, March 22, 2025. An after-show titled “The Deep Dig” is also confirmed to directly follow and will include the developers playing an upcoming game drop with some unannounced guest stars. While not confirmed in the announcement, a community pre-show typically airs fifteen minutes before Minecraft Live (12:45 PM ET) as well. The pre-show has previously been filled with highlights from Minecraft content creators alongside a few greetings from some of the bigger names. We estimate the combined runtime of the pre-show, main event, and Deep Dig to be about an hour and a half based on past Minecraft lives. However, with the Minecraft movie on the horizon, that number could possibly be even greater.

Where to Watch Minecraft Live 2025

Minecraft Live 2025 will be broadcast live on the official Minecraft YouTube channel, official Minecraft Twitch Channel, and Minecraft.net. None are better or worse when it comes to quality, but we personally recommend YouTube for the ability to both pause and rewind. YouTube and Twitch also include their respective chats, providing a look at community reactions in real time. As long as there are moderators keeping the chats clean, they can be quite humorous in their own right.

Confirmed Content

Minecraft Live 2025 is confirmed to be showcasing the upcoming Minecraft game drop, exclusive Minecraft movie content, and live gameplay and commentary with surprise guests. All else remains a mystery despite the quickly approaching start time, but if anything is announced before Minecraft Live 2025 countdown concludes, we will have it here!

Potential Announcements

If recent leaks are to be believed, we may see the announcement for the new Minecraft spinoff game titled Minecraft Spicewood. A potential sequel to Minecraft Dungeons set to release in 2026 that includes a new warden-like boss summoned via the portal found in ancient city structures. Some fans also speculate that we will be getting an announcement for a Minecraft Fortnite crossover due to separate leaks from those mentioned above. However, prominent leakers from both the Minecraft and Fortnite communities have come out to claim that the crossover leaks are fake, making it much less likely. Finally, there is always the potential for a new Minecraft update announcement, but nothing has occurred to suggest that we will see one this time around. Hopefully, at least one of these exciting announcements turns out to be true!
