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.
1 Features✎
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).
2 Legacy✎
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.
