MCM Comic Con London October 2026
Three days of pop culture and gaming at ExCeL London, with the EGX video game zone, cosplay, guests and hands-on play.
MCM Comic Con returns to ExCeL London from 23 to 25 October 2026 for a three-day celebration of pop culture where gaming has a big seat at the table. Alongside comics, film, TV and anime, the show hosts a dedicated video game presence through EGX, bringing playable demos, indie developers and community events under one roof. Expect show floors packed with cosplay, artists, collectibles and merchandise, plus panels and guest appearances across the weekend. For players in Europe it is one of the continent's largest fan gatherings and an easy add-on to an autumn city trip: try upcoming and current games hands-on, meet creators, and dive into a huge cosplay and community scene. The event is family-friendly and draws tens of thousands of visitors across the three days, so booking tickets and travel early is wise. Whether you are there for the gaming halls, the show-floor atmosphere or a specific fandom, MCM London is a full-day experience best planned in advance. Check the official site for the final guest list, ticket types and hall layout closer to the date.
