BlizzCon returns on 12 and 13 September in Anaheim. No point looking for a pass: they are all gone. The good news: you can follow most of the event for free from home, with nothing to buy.
The passes are gone
The official site states it plainly: all passes have been claimed. Blizzard points latecomers to the public resale market on Tixr, which means prices set by individuals and no guarantee of finding anything.
Three years without a BlizzCon explain the shortage.
The first BlizzCon since 2023
Blizzard cancelled the 2024 edition. There was none in 2025 either. September is therefore the first since 2023, and three years of waiting compressed into two days is enough to empty a box office.
That return also explains why so many announcements converge on these two days. Blizzard held content back for the stage rather than releasing it as it came, which was not its practice in recent years.
What is broadcast for free
Blizzard streams the opening ceremony and the main panels for free. That is where the trailers and content announcements for World of Warcraft, Diablo IV and Overwatch 2 land. You can watch the part that makes the news without paying a thing.
The rest of the programme requires being there. The Darkmoon Faire is open to everyone during the day, with a reserved evening on Saturday the 12th. Hands-on demos, small-room developer panels and the esports competitions happen in the venue. The charity night also returns, benefiting Make-A-Wish.
For a European viewer, the constraint is timing. Anaheim is in California, nine hours behind Paris: what happens in the morning there lands in the evening here, which suits most people. Blizzard has not published the detailed schedule yet, and that is the missing piece for planning an evening around it.
On what these two days might hold, we have already covered what is actually known about Classic+ and the Diablo 4 Switch 2 port the show is clearly keeping warm. The calendar is tight, too: Diablo 4 Season 15 starts on 15 September, two days after the doors close.
