The world's biggest event in pop culture is San Diego Comic-Con, and it's not even close. The event returns to sunny San Diego, Calif., this month, featuring the stars and creatives behind some of the industry's biggest movies, television shows, comics, and more, all in front of a thirsty throng of fans.
TV Guide, along with sister sites Fandom and GameSpot, will be in attendance, chatting with some of the entertainment industry's VIPs and reporting on all the happenings. If you're headed there, or if you just want to be in the know about what's going on, we have information on SDCC as well as a list of all the TV-related panels worth checking out below.
When is San Diego Comic-Con?
San Diego Comic-Con takes place from Wednesday, July 24, to Sunday, July 28, at the San Diego Convention Center and the surrounding areas. Wednesday, July 24 is preview night, when special early access is granted to the show floor in the evening, but the convention "properly" begins on Thursday, July 25, which is when the panels (and the party) begin.
Is San Diego Comic-Con 2024 sold out?
It is, unfortunately. Tickets sell out pretty fast each year after they go on sale the year before. But hey, it's not too early to plan for 2025. Badges for that event are expected to go on sale this fall.
The best TV panels at Comic-Con
Last year's Comic-Con was severely impacted by the actors and writers strikes, with almost all movies and TV shows pulling out of panels and leaving the Con star-less. This year, we're back to normal! There are plenty of TV-related panels to choose from, and we've sorted out the best ones below.
