San Diego Comic-Con International lists July 23–26, 2026 at the San Diego Convention Center (111 W Harbor Dr), with Preview Night on Wednesday, July 22. The organization bills panels, screenings, Exhibit Hall floor space, and comics-to-screen programming across the downtown campus.
Attendee badges for Comic-Con 2026 are sold out per Comic-Con badge pages; badge pick-up at the convention center starts Tuesday, July 21. Badge sales for 2027 are expected in fall 2026. Hotels and restaurant demand run absurdly high that week, so treat Gaslamp and Little Italy as full-cost add-ons.
For SoCal Asian event packing, the same late-July window also hits Temple Obons from Vista through West LA and the San Diego Obon Odori on August 1.
When: July 23–26, 2026 (Preview Night July 22)
Where: San Diego Convention Center, 111 W Harbor Dr, San Diego, CA 92101
