Blizzard Entertainment has announced that BlizzCon coming back next year as a live event, but unfortunately that means it’ll be skipping this year. BlizzCon 2026 will take place September 12 – 13 at the Anaheim Convention Center near Los Angeles.
Speaking in a post on its official website, Blizzard reflection briefly on its 20-year history, with its first event taking place in 2005. The event has been cancelled five times to date including just last year, although the 2020 and 2021 events were shelved as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
Here’s the official statement from Blizzard:

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.
