Believe it or not, TennoCon 2026 is right around the corner. On July 10th and 11th, Digital Extremes is celebrating both of its titles, Warframe and Soulframe, with their communities in-person and online. This event is not one to be missed, especially if you’re watching at home. The in-person experience is roudy and fun, no doubt. But for the widespread audience? You’ll be seeing the fun and exciting stuff at the same time as the live audience. With just 2 weeks and some change left. Digital Extremes laid out all the things you can expect as a viewer from home, including Twitch Drops, Giveaways, and an exciting in-game event relay. Here is everything you need to know about TennoCon 2026!
In-Game Event and Stream Schedule
Let’s get the big ticket item off the list for people watching from home. At 4 pm ET on July 11th, there will be an in-game event relay on Saturn that will be a Dry Dock. Similar to past event relays, during this time, you will be able to mingle amongst fellow Tenno in-game and watch from a distance as in-game assets are displayed in front of you during TennoLive. If you would like to know what this is like. Here is a video from the YouTube channel SekondSpark showing what the experience is like from TennoCon 2025.
While the event relay goes live at 4 pm ET, TennoLive will not start until 4:30 pm ET. So you will be waiting a little bit. But as far as the rest of the day goes on the 11th, you will be able to enjoy a fully loaded show starting at 11 am ET. This will start with the usual “Welcome to TennoCon” preshow. This then leads into the next Soulframe Devstream at 12 pm ET. This will show off upcoming content and other news for the game. Every hour that follows, you will be treated to exciting panels from the “Sounds of the System” at 1 pm ET, the “Art & Animation of Warframe” at 2 pm ET, and finally the “Narrative of Warframe” panel at 3 pm ET. This day is stacked, similar to the night before!
On July 10th, at 7 pm ET, you can enjoy a one-and-a-half-hour-long Cosplay Contest. This is where Tenno from all over the world show off their creativity and skills. Last year had jaw-dropping cosplays. From Flare in Techrot Encore, to John Prodman, to an authentic dad-themed Stalker cosplay that warmed the hearts of the audience. To close off that first night, you will be treated to the second-ever TennoConcert at 8:30 pm ET. If you would like an idea of what the experience is like, you can find the one from last year here (which we highly recommend watching, as the experience was awesome!)
Twitch Drops and TennoCon 2026 Giveaways
Finally, no TennoCon is complete without giveaways, and Digital Extremes has everyone covered at home. If you watch the Cosplay Contest on Twitch with your account linked. You can get a free ship poster in Warframe featuring Verminia from Soulframe and the Lotus. If you watch the concert, you will get an in-game poster featuring the Lotus and a microphone, and a fully built forma.
On July 11th, if you watch the stream before TennoLive, you can get a new primary rifle called the Haalyu. The Haalyu is a sentient-themed rifle with a unique alternate fire. The alternate fire splits it into 8 guns that track 4 enemies at once. It will consume more ammo in the alternate fire, but it already sounds crazy! Finally, during TennoLive itself, you can earn a free Mesa Prime. You only need to watch the contest, concert, the stream before TennoLive, and TennoLive for at least 30 minutes each to earn the Twitch drops!
Finally, there are a whole slew of giveaways. Including a hefty sum of platinum, a Warframe-themed headset, an Excalibur-themed headset rest, and Avakot-themed key caps. As well as some hot sauce from Jade City Foods. More details on those can be found here. More details about TennoCon itself, including all of the guest stars and hosts, can be found on the official webpage here!
They also dropped an amazing “hype trailer” with a small tease of what to expect with Tau at the end of this year. You can find that trailer down below!
