What Is TwitchCon?
Twitch's official convention — three days where the platform's creators and viewers meet in person. The floor mixes a Twitch Rivals competition arena, a main stage running ceremonies and showcases, Creator Camp workshops on the practical craft of streaming, sponsor booths, artist alley and scheduled community meetups.
It is also where Twitch ships platform news. The 1440p upgrade, changes to Clips and the Guilds feature were all announced from the Rotterdam stage earlier this year — which is the part of TwitchCon that matters even if you never buy a pass.
Tickets and Passes
Three tiers: 1-Day, 3-Day, and 3-Day + Party Bundle. A 3-Day pass or bundle comes with a custom emote pack and both TwitchCon chat badges; a 1-Day pass comes with one badge.
On prices: the early-bird deadlines of August 14 and September 1 have both passed, so any base pass figure quoted earlier in the year is now stale — take the live number from twitchcon.com. The add-ons are published and current:
- Official TwitchCon Party — $89 as of September 19, rising to $99 after October 27. Includes DJs, games, two drink tickets and ballpark food.
- Child passes from $75 for ages 13 and under, as an add-on to an adult pass. Under 5 free.
- Klarna payment plans from $13.38 per pass, available until October 13, 2026. Klarna requires 18+.
Our full tickets breakdown covers what each tier actually gets you and which one is worth it depending on why you are going.
What's Announced for San Diego 2026
Twitch Rivals Arena
Three days of Twitch Rivals competition on the show floor, running across the whole weekend rather than as a single headline match.
Glitch Theater
The main stage: Opening Ceremony, the Drag Showcase and the headline shows. This is where the schedule's anchor moments sit.
Creator Camp
Sessions and workshops run by Twitch — the practical track, and the reason a lot of smaller streamers buy a pass at all.
Community MeetUps
Scheduled gatherings by game, community and interest. Historically the part attendees rate highest and plan their days around.
Named events confirmed so far: Friday Function hosted by ImDontai, Million to One, Turbo Cup fueled by Honda, Drag Showcase. The rest of the schedule typically fills in over the weeks before the doors open, and we update this page as it does.

TwitchCon was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 because of COVID-19. San Diego has hosted the North American edition six times; the European one has moved between Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris and Rotterdam — and returns to Berlin, where it started, in 2027.
TwitchCon 2027: Berlin Is Already Confirmed
TwitchCon Europe 2027 takes place in Berlin on May 22–23, 2027. Twitch announced it from the stage at Rotterdam in May 2026, ending three consecutive years in the Netherlands and returning the European edition to the city where it began — Berlin hosted the first TwitchCon Europe back in April 2019. A waitlist is open for ticket notifications.
The North American 2027 edition has no dates yet, but it does have a venue: Twitch is committed to the San Diego Convention Center through 2028. So the city is settled even though the weekend is not, and on recent form the announcement lands in the months after the current year's show.
