The stage schedule for FINAL FANTASY XIV Fan Festival 2026 in Berlin is live, and the headline moment arrives at 4:00 PM SGT on Saturday, 25 July — prime Singapore time. Naoki Yoshida takes the keynote stage to make what Square Enix calls “big announcements,” and the most anticipated reveal is the new Tank job for the Evercold expansion. The venue is sold out, but the entire programme — except the two concert nights — streams free on YouTube and Twitch.
Evercold: What Berlin Is Expected to Reveal
Yoshida unveiled Evercold — FFXIV’s Patch 8.0 expansion — at the Anaheim Fan Fest in April 2026, confirming a world consumed by spreading frost, a level cap rise to 110, two brand-new jobs, a Kefka-themed ultimate raid, and an Evangelion alliance raid. Neither new job has been named or shown yet: the Tank is expected at Berlin, and the Physical Ranged DPS is widely anticipated at the Tokyo Fan Fest in October. For Singapore players, Evercold is targeting a January 2027 launch — plenty of time to catch up on Dawntrail, which is 50% off on the Square Enix Store and Mog Station until 31 July. FFXIV is also arriving on Nintendo Switch 2 in August, so the run-up to Evercold is shaping up to be a big few months.
Full Stream Schedule in SGT
All panels stream free on the official FFXIV YouTube and Twitch. Square Enix advises against co-streaming the keynote on YouTube (Content ID risk); other platforms are fine. Concert streams require a paid virtual ticket — pricing details to be announced.

Beastmaster Arrives in Patch 7.56
The Saturday late-night slot (10:30 PM – 12:30 AM SGT) is the Letter from the Producer LIVE, with Yoshida and community producer Foxclon joined by Lead Battle Content Designer Masaki Nakagawa for a two-hour deep dive into Beastmaster — FFXIV’s first new limited job since Blue Mage. Live gameplay is confirmed. The stream carries live English/Japanese interpretation throughout, so non-Japanese speakers get everything in real time. Co-streaming via Twitch is permitted.
Concert Nights — Keiko and THE PRIMALS
Both performances begin at 1:30 AM SGT and require a paid virtual ticket (pricing forthcoming). In-person tickets to hub27 in Berlin are sold out.
Night 1 (Saturday): Pianist Keiko returns for a solo concert — intimate arrangements of Eorzean themes building from quiet, crystalline passages to full cathartic crescendos. Based on her Anaheim performance, expect beloved pieces from across the entire FFXIV run.
Night 2 (Sunday): THE PRIMALS, led by Sound Director Masayoshi Soken, close out the weekend with a full band set. The schedule description says it all: “bring your LED light sticks and rock along.”
Crystalline Conflict Championship and the Cosplay Walk
Sunday opens at 4:00 PM SGT with the Crystalline Conflict Regional Championship for Europe and Oceania. Four teams have advanced through regional rounds to compete for the title on the main stage, with Yoshida, Kevin Bouffard, and casters Rookuri and Lythi on the desk. Oceanian teams means familiar data centre names — Elemental and Materia players may spot squads they’ve run into in ranked.
Later at 10:00 PM SGT, the Cosplay Walk brings Warriors of Light in full FFXIV costume to the main stage. Previous Fan Fests have delivered breathtaking craftsmanship — Dawntrail and Shadowbringers characters are likely front and centre this year.
