What To Expect: SDCC Preparation for June 2025

June has arrived, which means San Diego Comic-Con is officially next month. Feeling ready? Probably not — and that’s okay. With so much happening in the lead-up to the con, the best way to stay ahead of the chaos is by keeping up with key updates and announcements. And that’s where we come in. We’ll make sure you don’t miss a thing.

Here’s what you can expect over the next month:

More Panel Confirmations

Traditionally, this schedule is released exactly two weeks before the convention, which should mean that we won’t get a peek at the full, official schedule until July 10-13.

With that said though, the panel confirmations always slowly start to trickle in and we’re bound to know plenty of movie, TV, and other panels long before July.

Our continually updated list of Announced Panels will be going up in June as well, to track all the panel announcements for you in one easy location.

Exclusive Announcements & Presales

June will be a big month in the world of exclusives for most of the major companies. We already have early details on some exclusives from fan favorites like Hallmark, Yesterdays, and Bandai — though there’s still plenty more to be announced before the convention.

We also expect announcements to kickoff for most vendors, including Hasbro, Mattel, Funko, UCC Distributing, Monogram, Super7, Toddland, Symbiote Studios, official CCI merch, and so much more.

Parking

Need parking? Hopefully you remembered to enter the Ace parking lottery. The lottery will be taking place June 2, and you’ll be divided into groups, with the first group sale starting on June 9.

Offsite Announcements

We already have several San Diego Comic-Con offsite announcements, including the return of the Her Universe Fashion Show, The Lodge, Thrilljoy, Rokimoto, Mosh Eisley, and more.

Last year in June, we got several offsite announcements, including news of the Super7 Pop-Up shops, the return of the BoxLunch swag truck, a Speak No Evil screening, and the UBlog’s own party. Plus, while not officially offsites, we can’t wait to see more this year’s MTS trolley wraps, the first of which debuted last week.

You can always find a list of offsites on our event calendar.

More SDConCast

Although the new season of the SDConCast is already in full swing, we have an exciting schedule of upcoming guests to talk movies, TV, offsites, comics, and much more all month. In addition, each week we’ll continue to keep you up to date on all the latest news, to help ensure you’re as prepared as possible for July.
