Blizzard’s gaming showcase, BlizzCon 2026, has announced ticket sales, officially starting the countdown to a community-wide celebration.

Blizzard revealed in the early hours of the 6th (Korea Standard Time) that ticket sales for BlizzCon 2026 are imminent. In its announcement, the company described BlizzCon as “more than just an event—it’s a long-awaited chance for everyone to come together again,” saying it was thrilled to once more offer fans a special time.

Returning for the first time in about three years since BlizzCon 2023, BlizzCon 2026 is slated to take place over two days—September 13–14, 2026 (KST)—at the Anaheim Convention Center in California, the hallowed ground for Blizzard fans.

Early-bird passes will be sold first from November 8 at 2:00 a.m. through November 10 at 4:59 p.m. (KST). During this window, attendees can purchase passes at an all-in price of $249.99 (including taxes and fees), a discount compared to the standard pass. Sales may end early if allotments sell out.

Standard passes go on sale November 19 at 2:00 a.m. (KST) for $289.99. For BlizzCon 2026, the maximum number of tickets per account has increased from two to four, making it easier to attend with friends and family.

Passholders will have access to all BlizzCon halls and arenas on September 13 and 14, 2026 (KST). In addition, attendees will receive specially prepared BlizzCon 2026 in-game items and commemorative merchandise.

Blizzard also shared the first program details. BlizzCon 2026 will feature the Opening Ceremony, game demos and hands-on play, developer panels, Community Night, and a slate of esports competitions—bringing back the variety of experiences fans expect. Signature programs from past shows will return as well, including the resurrected BlizzCon Charity Night and the Darkmoon Faire.

The Darkmoon Faire—set to work its magic at BlizzCon once again—will be open to all attendees during show hours. Those who want to linger after closing can add the Darkmoon Faire After Hours option to their BlizzCon pass. Priced at a final $89.99, this add-on grants entry to a special three-hour event on Saturday evening, September 12 (local time), held across the Darkmoon Faire and the BlizzCon Store. The package also includes 20 Faire tokens and a collectible certificate.

Blizzard will also host BlizzCon Charity Night in collaboration with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which grants wishes to children with critical illnesses. The Charity Night add-on—priced at $499.99—includes reserved seating at the Opening Ceremony, signed artwork, a collectible certificate, and more, with all proceeds donated in full to Make-A-Wish.

Throughout the show, Blizzard plans to celebrate the event’s return with a variety of spaces and activities, including expansive gameplay zones, the Blizzard Arcade, a cosplay contest, esports matches, the BlizzCon Store, and the Hearthstone Tavern.

For fans who can’t attend in person, the Opening Ceremony and many BlizzCon programs and events will be streamed live online for free.

“BlizzCon is a special festival that celebrates creativity and connection,” said Johanna Faries, President of Blizzard Entertainment. “We’re doing our utmost to make BlizzCon 2026 a truly special event for the Blizzard community, and we’ll have more to share as we get closer to next September.”

Tickets and additional details for BlizzCon 2026 can be found on the official BlizzCon website, with more information to be announced over time.
