The event organisers have promised an exciting new edition, with several fresh features and initiatives aimed at uniting fans of all ages. In anticipation of the big event in 2026, fans can expect announcements in 2025 that will connect generations through new projects, particularly celebrating iconic franchises such as Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings.

The 2026 edition will include panels, exhibitions, cosplay competitions, and exclusive launches, with tickets set to go on sale soon. After a successful return to Exponor in 2024, Comic Con Portugal is returning to its roots in Matosinhos, where the event first began in 2014.

While the event initially expanded to Oeiras to accommodate growing demand, it has now returned to its original location in Porto’s neighbouring municipality. Comic Con Portugal has become a major pop culture event, occupying 200,000 square metres at Exponor during the most recent edition.

Stay tuned for further announcements about the 2026 event, which promises to be another major celebration for fans across the country.
