If you’ve been counting down to the season of Comic-Con, you need to start again. Official Middle East Film and Comic Con 2026 has changed the dates to be held between September 11 and 13 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre. The organisers announced that the push for dates is a tactical move to provide the fans with a more powerful, wholesome experience, one that does not stop at crowded halls and brief meet-and-greets.
September Will Be The Month Of MEFCC 2026 Bigger Fan Experience
A delay may seem to be bad news at first. But there’s a clear upside to it.
Shifting the event to September will be cooler and will also be timely after the summer vacation. It also provides the organisers with additional months to develop a larger roster. It entails an increase in the number of celebrity guests and panels and an expansion of attractions on the floor.

The venue is full of comic collections, gamers, movie enthusiasts, and cosplayers each year. There will be artist alleys, live performances, gaming areas, and fan competitions running parallel to each other. Meet the stars, and panel discussions continue to be one of the most popular attractions, bringing along the stars of the movie and television industry, as well as the comic world.
Despite the lack of an official announcement for the entire 2026 line-up, it has already raised high expectations.
