The SEMA Live 2026 schedule gives installers and enthusiasts a way to follow the Las Vegas show without spending the week on the show floor. SEMA announced 32 hours of coverage for November 3–6, 2026, presented by AutoZone.
SEMA Live 2026 schedule in Central time
The announced daily window is 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Pacific, or 11 a.m.–7 p.m. Central, Tuesday through Friday. SEMA names its YouTube and Facebook channels as the broadcast outlets.
The planned mix includes product and vehicle debuts, industry interviews, demonstrations and coverage of the expanded powersports and side-by-side area. SEMA Cruise is scheduled for Friday, November 6.
Turn a SEMA Show livestream into a useful shortlist
For a car-audio or off-road project, the useful takeaway is not simply a screenshot of an impressive build. Write down the manufacturer, exact model and the question that the demonstration leaves unanswered. That separates a product worth investigating from a good-looking display.
Use three columns in your notes: the problem you want to solve, the product shown and the information still needed. A compact amplifier might prompt a question about mounting space. A side-by-side installation might raise questions about vehicle-specific brackets, wiring routes or the environmental rating of each component.
What a demonstration cannot confirm
A livestream is not a listening test in your vehicle. It also does not establish fitment, package contents or when a product will be available to buy. Treat those as separate checks before making a purchase or promising an installation date.
The announced coverage is broad, not a guaranteed schedule for any individual audio brand. Keep your notes flexible rather than planning around an appearance that has not been confirmed.
Keep the viewing plan focused
Choose the category that matters to your next project before the broadcast starts. For a motorcycle or side-by-side build, that might be mounting and controls. For an OEM-integration job, it might be the signal path and which factory functions need to remain intact. Capture the details that help answer those questions, not every product name that appears.
Our SEMA Show 2026 car-audio and off-road preview provides the broader planning context. This schedule is the starting point for following the coverage, not a promise that every category or product will appear on screen.
