BlizzCon 2026: What To Expect
Fans of Blizzard games will get a chance to celebrate their favorite universes together once again as BlizzCon 2026 lands in Anaheim.
This is a living dossier - we will continuously add new content as soon as new information drops.
BlizzCon is more than a convention; it is an annual homecoming for millions of gamers. It serves as a celebration of Blizzard’s iconic universes, bringing developers, creators, and community members together under one roof.
Beyond the cosplay and community celebrations, BlizzCon is a cornerstone event for the gaming industry. It provides press and fans with direct access to lead developers, extended gameplay demos, world-first expansion reveals, and high-stakes esports tournaments.
Of course! There is a massive schedule packed across both days. You can check out the full programming timeline below:
BlizzCon 2026 - Full Schedule Day One
BlizzCon 2026 - Full Schedule Day Two
- World of Warcraft: Comprehensive roadmap updates for Retail (including Patch 12.2 and early details on the next expansion chapter), alongside major updates for WoW Classic progression servers.
- Diablo IV: Full reveal and gameplay showcase for Season 15, class balancing overhauls, and early teasers for the next major expansion and regional map addition.

- Hearthstone: Official announcement of the final 2026 card expansion with live developer commentary and creator reveal streams.
