Meta is taking its Ray-Ban Display glasses beyond the US. Sales began in Canada and the UK on September 23, 2026. Pre-orders will open progressively in France, Italy, and Germany ahead of an October 13 launch. US customers can also order the glasses online for the first time.
The September 23 announcement pairs the expansion with new navigation features, an on-glasses Explore app, and a preview of a photorealistic version of your face for WhatsApp calls. Its expressions are generated from your voice.
The features have different schedules. The glasses are reaching new countries now, while the hologram is slated for US early access later in fall 2026.
Canada and the UK Get Sales First, Europe Follows
Meta says online ordering and retail sales started September 23 in Canada and the UK. The retail locations it names are in Vancouver, Toronto, and London. Online ordering also began that day in the US, where the Display glasses were already available.
In France, Italy, and Germany, pre-orders will open progressively from September 23, with online ordering and retail sales scheduled for October 13. Meta lists retail locations in Paris, Milan, Rome, Frankfurt, Hamburg, and Munich. The progressive pre-order schedule does not guarantee that every customer in those three countries can place an order immediately.
Prescription lenses have a separate timetable. Meta says options through EssilorLuxottica optical retail stores are due October 13 in France and Italy, and later in the year in Germany. The announcement gives no new country-by-country price for the Display glasses.
The five-country expansion gives more people access to the hardware. It does not establish that every software feature announced alongside it will work in those countries at launch.
Walking Directions Will Point to Landmarks
Meta is adding several features to the Display glasses’ existing heads-up navigation. The most immediate dated update covers cycling and public transit: users will be able to ask for directions by voice and see cycling turns or real-time transit departures on the display. Meta says those features will start arriving .
