The Civ World Summit event features a multiplayer showdown with five prominent Civ community figures. It’s scheduled to air on February 8, 2025, starting at 11 a.m. Eastern Time.

For everyone else, the event will stream live for free on the Firaxis Twitch channel, the official Civilization YouTube channel, and the Civilization Facebook page.
