Blizzard Entertainmenthas announced that the nextBlizzConwill take place in Anaheim, California, from September 12 to 13, 2026.
What to Expect from BlizzCon 2026
BlizzCon is one of the most important gaming conventions in the industry, though it has been absent for a few years. In 2022, Blizzard announced that they would focus their efforts on the 2023 edition, which did take place as an in-person event in Anaheim.
However, 2024 came and went without Blizzard’s traditional convention, and unfortunately, there will be no event in 2025 either.
Now, Blizzard has confirmed thatBlizzCon will return in September 2026as an in-person event in Anaheim, as usual, and they have even shared a brief teaser:
The convention celebrating the creators of Diablo, Warcraft, and Overwatch will be held from September 12 to 13, 2026, meaning there’s still over a year to go before fans can enjoy the latest announcements.
“BlizzCon has been a cornerstone of Blizzard’s history since 2005, allowing us to connect directly with our community and players.”
“For the 2026 edition, alongside BlizzCon’s must-have events—such as the opening ceremony, discussion panels, the Darkmoon Faire, friendly competitions, game demos, and more—we aim to significantly enhance this iconic celebration and create an unforgettable experience.”
BlizzCon 2026 Officially Dated
The next BlizzCon will be held on September 12-13, 2026, at the Anaheim Convention Center in California. It will feature all the usual Blizzard convention events, plus some surprises for fans.
While not many details have been revealed yet, Blizzard promises they are exploring new ways to revitalize the event and engage with the community.
“BlizzCon is back! The ultimate celebration of our games and the community that unites us will take place on Saturday, September 12, and Sunday, July 04, 2025, at the Anaheim Convention Center.”
Fans can visit the official BlizzCon website to register and stay updated on future announcements. News and updates will also be shared via Blizzard’s social media channels.
SinceBlizzCon 2026is still a long way off, it’s hard to predict what will be revealed. However, we can expect a new expansion or season forDiablo IV, as well as fresh events for Overwatch 2 and new content for World of Warcraft and Warcraft Classic.
A less likely but possible announcement could be a new StarCraft game—perhaps an FPS in the vein of the canceled StarCraft: Ghost.
What we are almost certain to see is the next installment in theThe War WithinDLC trilogy forWorld of Warcraft, since the first part was released in 2024.
