New York Comic Con 2026 Schedule Is Here — Marvel TV's Spider-Man Bombshell and a Game of Thrones Reunion Lead the Pack

New York Comic Con is officially locked in. The NYCC 2026 schedule just dropped, and between October 8-11 at the Javits Center, there's a genuinely insane amount of stuff to see — including what Marvel is teasing as a Spider-Man bombshell and a Game of Thrones reunion that's going to need a bigger hall.

Marvel TV, DC's Jim Lee, and a Spider-Man Bombshell

The big headline: Marvel is bringing a Marvel TV panel to the con, and the official schedule teases a "Spider-Man bombshell" that has fans speculating nonstop. With Spider-Man: Brand New Day still smashing box office records and the animated Spider-Verse corner of the MCU only growing, the timing for a major announcement is perfect. Over on the DC side, legendary artist and DC president Jim Lee is set to appear — always a draw for comic fans, especially with DC's animation slate making waves this year.

Horror fans get a prize too: a Crystal Lake screening. The Peacock Friday the 13th prequel series from Bryan Fuller has been one of the most anticipated horror shows in years, and NYCC is hosting an early look for attendees. There's also a panel for Yaga, the animated Baba Yaga project generating serious buzz, plus fan-favorite TV panels for The Rookie and a full Game of Thrones reunion panel where cast members from the flagship series and House of the Dragon will apparently share the stage. Throw in the usual artist alley madness, exclusive Funko drops, and cosplay photographers camping out on the show floor, and the four days are basically a full festival.

Why This Year's NYCC Feels Bigger

NYCC has always lived in San Diego's shadow, but this year's lineup says otherwise. Between Marvel TV officially returning to the con circuit, a Spider-Man tease that could reshape the animated slate, and DC bringing its top talent, the East Coast con is finally getting its flowers. The schedule also hints that streaming platforms will be making bigger swings at the show this year, which means panel-room lines are going to be brutal. If you're going, plan your panels early, bring snacks, and remember: the good stuff is going to sell out fast. And if you can't make it to the Javits Center at all, most of the major panels will stream on the official NYCC platforms — you just won't get the exclusive merch, the floor energy, or the chance to run into your favorite creator in the wild.
