Don’t miss the esports events at BlizzCon 2026
It’s that time of the year again, when we celebrate the awesome IPs from legendary developer Blizzard Entertainment. The annual BlizzCon 2026 mega-event returns to the Anaheim Convention Center in the United States this weekend, offering two days of celebrations, cosplay, announcements, and, of course, esports tournaments!
Take this as a public service announcement: you should probably tune in and watch all the BlizzCon 2026 esports action take place. The event runs this weekend, from 12 to 13 September 2026, and there will also be a bunch of other reveals, developer panels, and more.
The long and short of it is, there are five massive esports events taking place, including two World of Warcraft events (Arena and Mythic+ dungeon runs), as well as the Overwatch World Cup, Hearthstone Masters, and Blizzard Classic Cup. The latter is technically a five-in-one, so we are in for a treat.
