Twitch announced on October 14, 2026 that TwitchCon is returning to San Diego from November 13-15, 2026. The official post says creators and fans can expect three full days of shows, game demos, Meet & Greets, panels, and live-only interactive experiences.
The announcement also highlights several headline activations, including e.l.f. Cosmetics’ Guinness World Record attempt for the most people applying makeup at once, a Southwest charter flight from Austin to San Diego on November 12 with a live in-flight gaming tournament, and a Friday IRL: Just Chatting & Travel Community Meetup. Twitch says additional brand and creator experiences will be live only at the show. Read the official announcement.
The events and activities page says the schedule is live and lists Twitch Rivals Arena, Glitch Theater, Meet & Greets, Artist Alley, Community Panels, Community MeetUps, Creator Camp, the Expo Floor, the Loot Cave, Musical Performances, Interactive Workshops, and Tabletop. The page also names presenting sponsors including Audible, e.l.f., JLab, Prime, Reese’s, and Southwest.
Show hours are listed in PST: wristband pickup only on Thursday, November 12, from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m.; Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.; and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The pass page also says payment plans were available until October 13, 2026, so that option is no longer open.

For Meet & Greets, Twitch says reservations are made in the mobile app, require a valid TwitchCon pass, are first come, first served, and close on October 30, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. PT. For small and midsize creators, the practical move is to pick your must-see sessions early, then lock in travel, badge type, and Meet & Greet reservations before popular slots fill. Meet & Greet rules
