San Diego Comic-Con 2027 runs from 22 to 25 July at the San Diego Convention Center, with Preview Night on the evening of 21 July. It puts readers and creators of comics, film and popular culture under one roof: hear creators talk about their work, queue for a favourite artist’s signature, and browse publishers’ and independent creators’ booths. 2027 badges go on sale in two rounds: on 17 October for last year’s attendees and on 14 November for the public, both requiring a Comic-Con Member ID.

Venue & travel
San Diego Convention Center
Follow official venue guidance and temporary public-transport plans; do not rely on event-day parking.

Entry & companions
Entry is by named badge with photo ID checked on arrival; badges are non-transferable. You need a Comic-Con Member ID to buy, and everyone needs their own. Children 12 and under are free with a paying adult. Rooms have capacity limits and are not cleared between events, so a badge does not guarantee entry to a panel.
