Genshin Impact 2.6 livestream date and time in UTC-4, EST, CEST, IST, and other timezones

miHoYo recently announced the date of the Genshin Impact 2.6 livestream (March 18, 2022) and its time (8:00 AM EST). It will inevitably cover much of the upcoming update's content and feature some free Redeem Codes that will award players with 300 Primogems.

The English version of the Genshin Impact 2.6 livestream will air live on Twitch. If Travelers miss it, there will likely be a YouTube video of it on the official channel a few hours later. This article will focus on when players can catch it live, featuring both a countdown and a short listicle of timezones.

Date and relevant timezones that Travelers should know for the Genshin Impact 2.6 livestream

The tweet from the official Twitter account states that the livestream will take place on March 18, 2022, at 8:00 AM (UTC-4). However, not every player will know what 8:00 AM (UTC-4) means in their timezone.

It also doesn't help that Daylight Savings happened recently, so some players' perception of time might be slightly thrown off. In that case, the following countdown should give players an accurate idea of when the Genshin Impact 2.6 livestream will air.

If it says "Time until the 2.6 livestream," then that means it hasn't started yet. The time listed above will tell players when it will start. If it reads "The 2.6 livestream has started," it means it has already begun.

This countdown is relevant for all timezones, as the upcoming Special Program will be available for all players to watch at the same time.
