Three days in Chicago would be a good time at any point of the year, but when it comes to March 27-29, 2026, it’s the best time possible — because that’s when McCormick Place opens its doors to C2E2 once again. As always, the show is celebrating all things good and great in pop culture for fans in the Midwest for what just might be the finest weekend in the Windy City, and, of course, Popverse is going to be right there in the middle of it, sharing what’s happening as it happens, no matter where you happen to be.

This year’s C2E2 is a star-studded affair, with appearances from the cast of Marvel’s Daredevil: Born Again,  icons from Jurassic Park (life found a way to make it happen, what can we say?), and stars from Superman & Lois, Uncharted, and Doctor Who’s Christopher Eccleston throughout the entire weekend. Oh, and you know that not one, but two of Dragon Ball Z’s Piccolo’s are showing up to the show together, too, right? Both Toshio Furukawa and Christopher Sabat will be all present and correct, as the Japanese and English voice actors for the character appear March 28 and 29. (Sabat's actually at the show on the 27th, as well!)

Of course, it’s not just about the celebrities doing photo ops and signing autographs — there’s also Artist’s Alley, a filled-to-the-brim show floor with dealers, and a full panel line-up, including many moderated by Popverse’s own Ashley Victoria Robinson. You can find a list of where you can find the Popverse team at the show here, but you should also know that we’re live-streaming the biggest panels from C2E2 2026 all weekend long, and you can find the details about that right here (Spoilers: that livestream will also include some exclusive interviews straight from Popverse's Pop Spot studio on the show floor, if you want to see even more from some of your favorites.)

We'll be doing more than just sharing panels, of course. We're also going to be sharing stories from the show, talking to some of your (and our) favorite creators, and for those cosplay fans amongst you, we're even going to be streaming the Cosplay Championships as they happen on Saturday night. Really, we're going to be doing it all — and we're hoping you'll be joining us.

At this point, we should probably call out Signet Collectibles, who are graciously supporting all of the C2E2 2026 coverage, whether panels, articles, or videos. Signet is the go-to place for authentic autographed items, and they're here as well, getting some choice sigs that you will be able to order from home.

What do you have to do to enjoy all of this wonder and magic for yourself? Well, if you're in Chicago, the answer is simple: just head down to McCormick Place and join in the fun. If you're nowhere near the Second City, the answer is arguably even simpler: just keep coming back to ThePopverse.com each and every day to get the cream of the C2E2 crop for yourself, curated and delivered to you right here, no matter where you happen to be in person.  

The show starts March 27. We'll be there every step of the way.
