This one's for fans of games like Overwatch, World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, Diablo: BlizzCon is coming back. After a two-year hiatus, Blizzard Entertainment’s fan convention is officially happening once again in 2026. Between now and Sunday, November 9 at 11:59 p.m. PST, discounted tickets are available for $249.99 on Tixr. That rate represents early bird pricing, and is only available while supplies last. It’s an all-in price that includes all taxes and fees.
The event itself is scheduled for September 12 - 13, 2026 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California.

If you miss out on the early bird pricing, you’ll have to wait for standard-rate tickets to go on sale on Tuesday, November 18 at 9 a.m. PST. Those tickets will cost $289.99 each and will also be available while supplies last. So if you're able, your best bet is definitely to grab them now and save $40 per ticket.
