Malta’s biggest celebration of pop culture is back. Malta Comic Con 2026 takes over the Malta Fairs & Conventions Centre (MFCC) in Ta’ Qali on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 October 2026, with two days dedicated to comic creators, comic books and graphic novels, film and TV, tabletop and video games, role-playing, anime, manga and, of course, cosplay.
What’s on
- Cosplay: the cosplay competition and the Sunday Masquerade are highlights of the weekend, whether you’re competing or just there to admire the costumes.
- Panels and talks: creator Q&As, workshops and industry discussions with guests from the worlds of comics, film and gaming.
- Gaming zone: retro arcade classics, modern favourites and tournaments.
- Artist Alley and market: discover original artwork, prints, comics and merchandise from local and international creators.
- For families: kid-friendly activities, workshops and cosplay photo opportunities.
Malta Comic Con has always put creators front and centre, giving fans the chance to meet the artists and writers behind their favourite stories. The organisers have promised some big names this year, so keep an eye on the official Malta Comic Con channels as the guest list is announced.
Tickets
- Early Bird 1-Day ticket: €16.20
- Early Bird 2-Day ticket: €27.00

Prices include the booking fee.
Here’s a tip worth knowing: prepaid tickets get priority access an hour earlier, at 10:00, so buying online in advance means less time queuing and more time inside.
Who is it for?
Everyone. There is material specifically aimed at children and material aimed at a more mature audience across both days, so it works as a family day out as well as a weekend for dedicated fans. If you’re planning to cosplay, the 2-day ticket gives you a second chance at the perfect photo.
Getting there
The MFCC sits beside the National Stadium in Ta’ Qali, in the centre of the island and within easy reach of Attard, Mosta and Rabat. There’s parking around Ta’ Qali, but on a busy weekend it’s worth arriving early.
