I've been searching for this topic and what I mostly find references to an unofficial build and also a 32-bit build.

Does anybody know if Canonical plans to release an officially supported 64-bit build of Ubuntu 16.04 for the raspberry pi 3?.

Thanks,

Here you can find info related ti the solution: Ubuntu arm64/AArch64 on wiki.ubuntu.com

To check your chip:

cat /proc/cpuinfo 

There is a config.txt entry to make the ARM start in 64-mode (otherwise 32-bit mode is used):

arm_control=0x200

(This will fail to boot unless you provide a kernel compiled for 64-bit mode) 64 bit versions of the linux-raspi2 kernels were introduced in Ubuntu 16.10 (Yakkety Yak).

The generic arm64 linux kernels can also be used with a suitable bootloader. For example, the Zesty mini.iso can be booted with a u-boot-UEFI-grub2 combination from SuSE for example.
