Today, Blizzard Entertainment announced that BlizzCon, the ultimate celebration of Blizzard’s communities, is returning to the Anaheim Convention Center Saturday, 12 September PT, and Sunday, 13 September PT, 2026. The event, which was last hosted in the fall of 2023, did not take place in 2024 because Activision Blizzard was focusing on its integration with its new parent company, Microsoft Gaming.
The press release states;
“One of our favorite traditions, BlizzCon brings us together over our shared passion for Blizzard’s universes, but at its heart, BlizzCon has always been about so much more. It’s about you, the communities you are a part of, and gives us the chance to connect, build friendships, and create unforgettable memories together.”
“We’ve come a long way since our first event in 2005. Over the past nearly 20 years since its inception, BlizzCon has inspired us to innovate, push the boundaries of creativity, and deliver once-in-a-lifetime moments. It’s important that we put on an event worthy of our community. For 2026, 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. We are building this event just like we build our games: with a deep commitment to our players, with respect for your connections to our universes, and as a celebration of the strength of the bonds formed through shared adventure.”
