The National Sports Collectors Convention returns to the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont from Wednesday, July 28 through Sunday, August 1, 2027. The National is the largest sports collectibles show in the world, and Chicago is its most frequent host city — when the National comes to Rosemont, the entire hobby comes with it.
Recent Nationals have run roughly 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM Wednesday through Friday with extended weekend hours, five-day passes and VIP packages that include early access, and general admission in the $20 range per day.
The convention center is at 5555 N River Rd in Rosemont, next to O'Hare and directly served by the CTA Blue Line Rosemont station — genuinely the easiest way in, since driving means paid convention parking and July traffic.
