LIFE Magazine is making its long-awaited return to print in the U.S. on November 23, 2026, as a $45 quarterly publication. The chronicler of American lifestyles and trends through breathtaking photography was a weekly staple when it was founded in 1936. The 248-page issue titled Where Are We Now? will appear in an oversized format with no traditional print advertising and will be available at selected U.S. bookstores and newsstands. No retail rollout was confirmed for Canada at press time.
The revival combines print with plans for digital stories, documentaries, video, and live experiences. The free digital platform featuring original stories, photography, documentaries, and video, is part of an effort to build a modern media brand beyond the printed page. The relaunch comes as magazine publishers face declining print circulation and reduced advertising revenue. The company also plans to launch brand partnerships across its platforms, along with subscriptions and a founding membership program.
