CES 2025 dates
CES 2025 took place between January 7-10, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The exact dates shift every year, in accordance with it being a mid-week event, but it generally takes place in the second week of January.
CES 2026 will take place on January 6-9, 2026, with it moving nearly a full week earlier than the CES 2024 dates of January 9-12. That leaves even less time for those attending to recover from their winter holiday excesses but will bring the latest tech announcements to us even sooner.
