Watch the Iowa Legislature Live: Video Feed, Session Dates and How to Follow
This feed plays on its own official site, so there is no player on this page. Use the link below to watch.
What Is This Feed?
The Iowa Legislature streams its work through a Legislative Video section at legis.iowa.gov. Its 100 representatives and 50 senators meet at the golden-domed Capitol in Des Moines.
When Can I Watch?
The 2026 session ran from January 12 to May 3. Iowa's session opens each January, and most of its work finishes by spring. Dates change each year, so confirm the current calendar on the official site.
Why This Feed Matters?
Iowa has long prided itself on meeting candidates face to face. A live legislative feed extends that same retail politics to government itself, letting a farmer in a rural county follow farm, water and school bills without leaving home.
