BlizzCon Is Back at Anaheim Convention Center in 2026

Blizzard has officially announced the return of its in-person BlizzCon event, set to take place at the Anaheim Convention Center on September 12 and 13, 2026. The event will feature beloved elements such as panels, the opening ceremony, competitions, and the Darkmoon Faire. Although Blizzard did not provide a reason for skipping the 2025 event, it aims to create a meaningful and unforgettable experience for attendees. The recent history of BlizzCon has been tumultuous, transitioning from in-person events to digital presentations, and experiencing cancellations, particularly due to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent changes after Microsoft's acquisition.

Blizzard has not announced any plans for a 2025 online celebration, leaving fans waiting eagerly for more information.

BlizzCon is renowned for celebrating Blizzard's franchises like Diablo, Overwatch, and World of Warcraft, bringing fans together to engage in gameplay demonstrations, developer panels, and community activities. The event has evolved over the years, solidifying its status as a cornerstone in gaming culture and fan engagement.
