Apple today (June 9) announced that tvOS 26, the next major operating system for Apple TV at its annual developer conference — WWDC 2025. The company has confirmed that the new tvOS 26 with the new visual design will arrive this fall. The updated interface, named "Liquid Glass," aims to bring a fresh, modern aesthetic and enhanced user experience to the living room. The new ‘Liquid Glass’ design comes with a sleek, translucent interface, enhancing the Apple TV experience with real-time rendering effects that reflect and refract surroundings.

The "Liquid Glass" design is part of a broader stylistic overhaul across Apple's software ecosystem, which was also highlighted with the unveiling of iOS 26 and other operating systems at WWDC 2025. This new visual language is characterised by its translucent elements, subtle sheens, and a sense of depth that mimics polished glass, drawing inspiration from the immersive design of visionOS.
