tvOS 26 is the eleventh and current release of tvOS, shipped September 15, 2025, under the family's year-aligned numbering. Liquid Glass reaches the living room — translucent controls and refreshed poster-art focus — while Apple Music Sing turns iPhones into karaoke microphones feeding the TV, profiles switch automatically by proximity, and FaceTime's Live Captions and contact posters carry the communication pillar forward.

Liquid Glass design; Apple Music Sing karaoke with iPhone mics; automatic profile switching; FaceTime Live Captions on TV; refreshed aerials and screensaver scheduling; and the generation's shared frameworks (Games app integration).

Still current — the release that folded the TV into the unified 26-generation design and numbering, with the karaoke feature its party trick. tvOS 27 is in beta with the Siri AI generation.
