The San Diego Convention Center will host TwitchCon San Diego 2026, a three-day convention running from Friday, November 13 through Sunday, November 15, 2026. The complete schedule has now been released, and it includes Twitch Rivals competitions, Creator Camp sessions, Community MeetUps, live shows, the TwitchCon Party, and the MC Championship.
The tickets are on sale now, and the price depends on how much of the weekend you want to see. A three-day pass costs $249 through October 26, then jumps to $259 starting October 27. One-day passes start at $159, and the Official TwitchCon Party add-on is $89. Child passes for attendees aged 13 and under start at $75, and children under five get in for free.
Dates, Venue and Wristband Pickup
TwitchCon San Diego 2026 runs from Friday, November 13 through Sunday, November 15, 2026, at the San Diego Convention Center, located at 111 W Harbor Drive, San Diego, CA 92101.
The wristbands begin distribution on Thursday, November 12, with a window from 12 PM to 8 PM PST. That same night, a Partner Party runs from 6 PM to 9 PM. The three main days of the convention fall on Friday, November 13, Saturday, November 14, and Sunday, November 15. The Saturday TwitchCon Party carries the evening into Gallagher Square at Petco Park, from 7 PM to 10:30 PM.
What Your Ticket Gets You
The three-day ticket comes with a custom Emote Pack, two exclusive Chat Badges, a keepsake TwitchCon Badge, an RFID Wristband, and a 1-Month Free Trial of Turbo. The single-day ticket leaves out the Emote Pack and the second Chat Badge, but still offers the Badge and Wristband.
A distinct ticket is required for the Official TwitchCon Party. That ticket comes with DJs, games, two drink tickets, and ballpark food. The child pass needs to be attached to an adult pass.
As the event draws near, prices and availability may shift, so those hoping to purchase after October 26 should keep an eye on the official page for any changes.
The Full Searchable Schedule
The streaming platform has released a complete searchable calendar for the event, even though specific sessions, guests, and timing details could still shift before November 13. The schedule is up now, and it spans the whole weekend.
Here is what is locked in so far:
- Friday, November 13: Turbo Cup fueled by Honda and Friday Function hosted by ImDontai.
- Saturday, November 14: The Official TwitchCon Party at Petco Park.
- Sunday, November 15: MC Championship from 12 PM to 3:30 PM PST.
The Glitch Theater is where the Opening Ceremony, the Drag Showcase, and other headline shows will take place. Attendees can connect with online friends, reunite with familiar communities, and find new creator groups through Community MeetUps.
The convention’s educational program comes back as Creator Camp, offering sessions and workshops built around advice from creators and industry professionals. It is arranged around practical guidance aimed at helping streamers improve their streams and expand their audience.
The Confirmed Creators
Twitch has begun confirming creators for the event, with Twitch Partners CocoConfession, Sloth_Bag and Angelica “AyyTrae” Trae among the names announced so far. The attendee roster is expected to expand as the convention approaches, so this section will be updated when additional creators are confirmed.
The full list of confirmed sessions and times is available on the official TwitchCon San Diego 2026 page, where individual sessions, participants, and times may still change before November 13.
The Events and Activities
The Glitch Theater, the Expo Floor, and Artist Alley will all be part of TwitchCon San Diego 2026, alongside Twitch Rivals competitions, Meet & Greets, Creator Camp sessions, Community Panels and MeetUps, interactive workshops, musical performances, and tabletop activities.
Throughout the weekend, the Twitch Rivals Arena will host a series of creator competitions. The MC Championship, which takes place on Sunday, November 15, from 12 PM to 3:30 PM PST, stands as the arena’s main attraction.
The Glitch Theater has been chosen once more as the venue for the convention’s most important presentations. Among the confirmed events are the Opening Ceremony, the Drag Showcase, and additional headline performances.
During TwitchCon weekend, Community MeetUps provide a space for attendees to connect with online friends, reunite with familiar communities, and find new creator groups. These gathering places are usually central to the convention’s focus on face-to-face interaction between viewers and creators.
TwitchCon’s educational program, Creator Camp, is back, and it brings sessions and workshops aimed at helping streamers learn from creators and industry professionals. The programming centers on real-world guidance for improving streams and building audiences.
Getting There and Getting Around
The convention center sits at 111 W Harbor Drive in downtown San Diego, right next to the Gaslamp Quarter and San Diego Bay. TwitchCon San Diego 2026, which takes place there, also gives attendees a travel portal with partner hotels and discounted flights through its official booking site.
All three convention days feature public hours at the venue, with the Saturday TwitchCon Party carrying the event past the daytime schedule. The times are given in PST.
The Numbers Behind the Event
San Diego’s TwitchCon 2025 was a major draw, with livestreaming platforms recording over 7.2 million Hours Watched. Its MC Championship went further, topping 58,000 Peak Viewers. Earlier in 2026, TwitchCon Rotterdam also delivered strong numbers, pulling in more than 1.3 million Hours Watched and reaching 102,400 Peak Viewers.
The Streams Charts will keep a record of how many people watched TwitchCon San Diego 2026 after the event ends.
The Bottom Line
The weekend at TwitchCon San Diego 2026 is full of events, and both passes offer their own way into it. A three-day pass gets you into everything across all three days. A one-day pass lets you choose which single day suits you best.
A separate ticket purchase is needed for the Official TwitchCon Party, and the child pass comes at a reduced cost. The prices go up after October 26, which means those wanting the lower rate need to move quickly.
Via the official TwitchCon San Diego 2026 page, the event’s complete schedule, pass choices, and details about those attending are all on display. One of the convention’s own attractions, as its own summary notes, is the summary itself — a charmingly self-referential feature that does not cross into dishonesty.
San Diego’s weekend will bring together creators, competitors, and fans for a shared celebration of community, creativity, and friendly contest. The schedule has been posted, the tickets are available, and the event is confirmed. We hope to see everyone there.
