New York Comic Con celebrates its 20th anniversary at the Javits Center from Thursday, October 8 through Sunday, October 11, 2026, and this milestone edition — themed around Coney Island — is set to be the biggest pop culture event on the East Coast this year. While NYCC is famous for its film and TV reveals, cosplay, and celebrity panels, it has also grown into a major weekend for trading card collectors, with a substantial show-floor presence of card dealers, TCG publishers, and convention-exclusive releases that make it well worth a collector's badge.
Exact daily hours are posted at newyorkcomiccon.com as the show approaches.
The Javits Center sits at 429 11th Avenue between 34th and 40th Streets, reachable via the 7 train's 34th Street-Hudson Yards station one block away. Skip driving; ride-share drop-offs and transit handle the crowds far better than the area's limited parking.
Badges, maps, exclusives lists, and schedules are at newyorkcomiccon.com, with constant updates on the show's social channels in the weeks before the con.
