Comic-Con attendees viewing an unofficial panel schedule on a smartphone
The San Diego Comic-Con Unofficial Blog has released a preliminary list of announced panels for SDCC 2026, providing attendees with an early look at the potential programming before the official schedule is unveiled. The list, which will be continuously updated, is organized by day, starting with Preview Night and continuing through Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. A separate section is dedicated to panels for which a specific date has not yet been announced.
The compilation covers a wide array of topics, including movies, television, comics, and various special events. Notable discussions slated for the event include “The Comic Book Couples” and “Female Comic CEOs” on Thursday, “The Dwayne McDuffie Award for Diversity in Comics” and “Breaking Into Comics Without a Publisher” on Friday, and “Concert for Heroes: Film, Comedy & Rock N’ Roll!” on Saturday. Sunday’s highlights include “The Bad Girls are Back and Better Than Ever” and “AI and the Creative Industries: Where We Stand.” The unassigned panels hint at potential major attractions such as an “Aliens 40th Anniversary” celebration and presentations from “Marvel Studios,” alongside discussions with various showrunners and actors.
This unofficial schedule serves as an early guide for fans planning their SDCC experience, though the blog reminds attendees that all schedules are subject to change and will be finalized by Comic-Con International closer to the event dates.
