About Bahrain Comic Con 2026
Bahrain Comic Con is the kingdom's annual pop culture convention, bringing together comics, cosplay and gaming over two days at Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir. The official Bahrain Tourism listing describes celebrity guests, artists and creators, with exhibitors selling comics, merchandise and collectibles. The 2026 edition is held under the direction of HH Sheikh Khaled bin Hamad Al Khalifa.
The 2026 show was first planned for 1 and 2 May at the circuit, but organisers postponed it weeks before opening, citing safety amid regional tensions. In August they teased a return on social media, and the official tourism calendar and Platinumlist now list the convention for Friday 6 and Saturday 7 November 2026.
Expect cosplay throughout the halls, gaming areas, meet and greet sessions with guests, and a large market of stalls. Named guests had not been published at the time of writing, so check the organiser's channels closer to the date. The event suits families, teenagers and adult fans alike, and dressing up is encouraged.
