Blizzard announced that BlizzCon, its annual gaming convention, will return in 2026, meaning that the event will not take place this year.
In a recent announcement, the gaming company detailed that BlizzCon will be held in the Anaheim Convention Center in California on September 12 and 13, 2026. Blizzard didn’t mention the 2025 convention, which implies that the event will skip this year – the second time in a row after the cancellation of BlizzCon in 2024.
The company shared some details of the upcoming event, briefly covering the planned activities: “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.”

BlizzCon has a long history that dates back to 2005. In recent years, the event has experienced several interruptions. In 2020, it was canceled because of the pandemic; the next, BlizzCon returned only in an online format; and in 2022, the event was also canceled during a period of legal litigation. BlizzCon showcases Blizzard’s game franchises, such as StarCraft, Warcraft, Overwatch, Heroes of the Storm, and more, and provides exclusive previews and game-related announcements.
