Google’s main I/O 2025 keynote takes place on May 20, with I/O continuing over May 21 for developers to get hands-on with Google’s latest products. At its keynote, we expect Big G to talk about its various innovations across its constantly expanding suite of products and tools — no doubt with a huge focus on AI throughout. If we collectively cross our fingers, promise to be good and eat all our vegetables, then we may even be treated to a sneak peek at upcoming hardware.

Google also hosted a totally separate event that focused solely on Android. The Android Show: I/O Edition saw the wrappers come off Android 16, with insights into the new Material 3 Expressive interface, updates to security and a focus on Gemini and how it’ll work on a variety of other devices.
By breaking out Android news into its own virtual event, Google frees itself to spend more time during the I/O keynote to talk about Gemini, Deep Mind, Android XR and Project Astra. It’s going to be a jam-packed event, so here’s how you can watch I/O 2025 as it happens and what you can look forward to.
The Android Show focused solely on updates to Android 16.
Google I/O: Where to watch
Google I/O proper kicks off with a keynote taking place on May 20, 10 a.m. PDT (1 p.m. EDT, 6 p.m. BST). It’ll be available to stream online on Google’s own YouTube channel. There’s no live link on the I/O website yet, though you can use the handy links to add the event to your calendar of choice and register your details if you want more info from Google. Which maybe you do.
