MacOS Sierra gets a release date – CNET

Apple kept the focus on its mobile products during its September 2016 product event today, introducing the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus and the Apple Watch Series 2. Mac computers went unmentioned during the event, but the MacO Sierra page on Apple’s site was updated to include a release date for the operating system: September 20.

As with past OS X releases, MacOS Sierra will be a free upgrade made available via the Mac’s App Store, but you will need a Mac from late-2009 or later to make the jump. Here is the list of supported Macs for MacOS Sierra:
