You can use it to describe both events that are happening in the present – right now, while you are talking about something, or in the future – something that may or will happen later on.

Presente Continuo. El presente progresivo se utiliza para acontecimientos que están ocurriendo en o en torno a este momento particular en el tiempo, o para indicar que algo es temporal, o para hablar de situaciones que van cambiando, y también para hablar sobre planes en el futuro.
