Bucharest Gaming Week 2026
Romania's biggest gaming festival marks its 10th edition on 21-22 November 2026 in Pavilion B1 at Romexpo, Bucharest, with game demos, tournaments and hundreds of content creators.
Bucharest Gaming Week returns for a jubilee 10th edition on 21 and 22 November 2026, filling Pavilion B1 of the Romexpo exhibition centre in Bucharest. Running since 2018, it has grown into Romania's biggest consumer gaming festival and one of the larger gaming weekends in Southeast Europe.
The formula is a broad mix: hands-on zones where visitors can test new and upcoming games, dozens of partner brands with booths and activations, meet-and-greets with hundreds of Romanian content creators, and a packed competitive programme - the organisers promise tournaments and challenges with prizes worth tens of thousands of euros across the weekend.
It is aimed squarely at players and fans rather than industry: if you want to try games before release, watch and enter competitions, hunt giveaways or meet streamers, this is the event's core audience. For players from the wider Balkan region, Bucharest is a reachable weekend destination, and Romexpo sits close to the city centre with good transport links.
Tickets are sold through the official channel at bilete.bucharestgamingweek.ro and via iabilet.ro, with several tiers available. A companion mobile app with the programme is available for Android and iOS.
