Opening Night Live 2024 stream date and time – the Gamescom countdown is on
Here's when Gamescom ONL starts and how to watch it on YouTube, Twitch, and more
This year's Gamescom Opening Night Live is less than 24 hours away, so you'll want to jot down the exact time it kicks off and bookmark those streams you want to watch it on, be it YouTube, Twitch, or joining us with our Opening Night Live live coverage.
Host Geoff Keighley has been setting expectations online, revealing that we're getting a two-hour show focusing on gameplay reveals, new game announcements, and more. In fact, we're also getting some non-game announcements, so here's hoping for a movie tidbit or two.
Getting into more detail on that, Keighley teases airtime for the likes of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Monster Hunter Wilds, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and much more. What we're not getting, though, is Hollow Knight: Silksong. You'd be used to that by now, though Keighley has put us out of our misery early – unless it's all a rouse, hm?
Thankfully, we don't have long to wait and see what's actually going on. Read on to find out when Gamescom Opening Night Live starts and where you can watch it.
