[PREVIOUS]

Although we are still counting down the days to San Diego Comic-Con 2022, if you’re a mega-planner (and let’s face it, if you attend San Diego Comic-Con, you probably are) — here’s some good news for you: We likely have dates for the convention in 2023.

For the last few years, the dates for future conventions have been quietly revealed on the San Diego Convention Center’s website, well ahead of an official announcement from Comic-Con International. And now, the Convention Center has quietly added a new entry:

The dates would line-up exactly with Comic-Con’s typical July week, and the “Private Event: Convention with Trade Show” is how the listing has appeared the last several years while serving as a placeholder. The one thing missing to really confirm this is the attendance, which is typically listed as 135,000 attendees — but perhaps the Convention Center decided that was too much of a dead giveaway.

Historically, the San Diego Convention Center leaves off Wednesday’s Preview Night date from their calendar, which would set the convention at July 19-23, 2023 for all four and a half days.

Comic-Con International is currently contracted to keep San Diego Comic-Con in the city of San Diego through 2024.
