Sometimes an event doesn’t get cancelled, it merely waits for the right time to respawn. After BlizzCon 2024’s unfortunate cancellation, Activision/Blizzard’s big showcase for franchises such as Overwatch and World of Warcraft is back in 2026! What’s more, the gaming company’s big resurgence is being celebrated in a way that could save fans attending a lot of money – as tickets will be going on sale this very month!
Special Early Bird Passes For BlizzCon 2026 Will Be On Sale November 7th
Set your alarms for November 7th, 9 am PST (12 pm EST), as Blizzard’s official blog revealed that’s when Early Bird passes go on sale. Taking place at the Anaheim Convention Center during September 12 and 13th, BlizzCon 2026 brings the magic back home almost two years after its previous incarnation. Here’s some more details about snagging these special Early Bird passes, and what to do if you happen to miss the window:
Early bird passes go on sale Friday, November 7, 2025, at 9 a.m. PST through Sunday, November 9, 2025, 11:59 p.m. PST, for $249.99 USD each, while supplies last. $249.99 is an all-in price, meaning it includes all taxes and fees. Additionally, we’re raising the maximum number of passes you can purchase from two to four per account. If you miss the early bird rate, standard rate passes go on sale Tuesday, November 18, 2025, at 9 a.m. PST for the all-in price of $289.99 USD each, while supplies last.
As for what to expect from BlizzCon 2026, there’s not much to report as of late. Early details do highlight the return of “classic BlizzCon staples—including Opening Ceremony, hands-on gameplay, developer panels, Community Night, [and] a range of esports tournaments.” However, there’s two more add-ons you’ll want to plan for, as BlizzCon 2026 will be returning to the world in style.
Welcome Back To Darkmoon Faire and BlizzCon Charity Night!
All who long to return to Darkmoon Faire will have the chance to do just that in 2026. However, something special has been added to the fun and games – Darkmoon Faire After Hours! Those passes (valued at $89.99 “all-in”) include exclusive admission to a three-hour event held on September 12, 2026, which gives you three hours at Darkmoon Faire and the BlizzCon Store once the convention has closed for the day. You’ll also get 20 Faire Tokens, and “a collectible credential,” in that package.
Meanwhile, BlizzCon Charity Night is also on the docket, with the Make-A-Wish foundation being the featured cause. $499.99 is the price point for that add-on, which is billed as “an exclusive event with Blizzard developers, artists, and community representatives.” More details on what that entails can be found below:
In addition to entry to this exclusive event, the BlizzCon Charity Night add-on also includes access to a reserved seating section at Opening Ceremony, a signed piece of Blizzard artwork, and a collectible credential. The all-in price for the BlizzCon Charity Night is $499.99 USD, while supplies last. Blizzard will donate 100% of the purchase price of the BlizzCon Charity Night add-on to Make-A-Wish less any chargebacks or refunds.
So far, BlizzCon 2026 sounds like a return to form for all who seek it out! At the same time, there’s plenty of potential to outdo past iterations, thanks to whatever secrets and surprises are to come! For now, remember that you can purchase those Early Bird passes between November 7th – 9th; with full price tickets arriving on November 18th.
