Guild Wars 2's Extra Life 2026 event runs from November 10 through December 1. ArenaNet's charity broadcasts follow on November 13 and 14, with two separate twelve-hour streams supporting Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.

The in-game event grants The Extra Life title to accounts that have not unlocked it before. Its bonus adds 5% magic find, 5% experience and 3% progress to both WvW and PvP reward tracks per stack. Another stack is added for each $10,000 in direct donations to Team ArenaNet. Visit Lion's Arch after logging in to activate the current stack.

The 2026 Gem Store bundle includes five Extra Life Karma Boosters, five Temporary Selfless Potions and the new Extra Life Balloon Toy. The 2025 bundle, featuring Mini Guardian Angel Blish, also returns. ArenaNet says proceeds from these charity purchases go to Extra Life; the new bundle's price has not been announced.

Both broadcasts run from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. PST on Friday, November 13, and Saturday, November 14. US Eastern viewers can watch from noon until midnight EST, ending as November 14 or 15 begins.

For the UK, each stream runs from 5 p.m. GMT until 5 a.m. the next morning. Central Europe gets 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. CET. The first broadcast ends on November 14 in those regions, and the second on November 15.

Sydney and Melbourne viewers should mark Saturday, November 14, and Sunday, November 15: both broadcasts run from 4 a.m. to 4 p.m. AEDT.

Watch through the official Guild Wars 2 Twitch channel, or join the fundraiser through Team ArenaNet's event page. Keep November 10 for the game event and the converted stream dates for viewing. Check the Gem Store price before deciding whether to buy the new bundle.
