BlizzCon is returning in 2026 after a few years off

Blizzard’s next BlizzCon conference will take place on September 12th and September 13th in 2026. That’s not a typo — the show will happen next year.

BlizzCon 2026 will once again be hosted at the Anaheim Convention Center. Blizzard isn’t sharing specific details about what games might be featured, but the company says that “alongside BlizzCon staples like Opening Ceremony, in-depth panels, the Darkmoon Faire, friendly competition, hands-on gameplay, and more, we aim to meaningfully elevate this iconic celebration and create an unforgettable experience for all who take part in it.” Tickets will go on sale at a later date.

The last BlizzCon event took place in 2023, where the company announced details about things like Diablo IV’s first expansion, new World of Warcraft expansions, the addition of Mauga to Overwatch, and more. Blizzard also hosted a virtual “BlizzConline” in 2021 and an in-person edition of the show in November 2019.
