Comic-Con International - San Diego 2026

Comic-Con International is the world’s largest and most influential celebration of pop culture, drawing tens of thousands of fans, creators, and industry leaders to San Diego for a one-of-a-kind, multi-day experience. The event kicks off with Preview Night, offering a special opportunity for early attendees to explore the Exhibit Hall, catch exclusive screenings, and experience new releases and activations before the full convention opens. Following that, Comic-Con unfolds into a packed schedule of celebrity panels, behind-the-scenes discussions, first-look trailers, immersive fan zones, and show-stopping cosplay. From comic books and graphic novels to major film and television studios, gaming, collectibles, and emerging tech, every corner of fandom is represented. With Artist Alley, the Small Press Pavilion, and offsite fan experiences across downtown San Diego, Comic-Con is more than a convention—it’s a cultural phenomenon where imagination, community, and storytelling come to life.
