Fanatics Fest NYC Returns June 24-27, 2027 at Javits Center

Fanatics Fest NYC is officially returning in 2027, with Fanatics announcing that its sports, collectibles and pop culture festival will take over the Javits Center in New York City from June 24 through June 27.

“The wait is over,” Fanatics Fest said in announcing the dates on X, telling fans to plan for four days at the Javits Center next summer. The event’s official website describes the 2027 edition as bringing the entire sports world under one roof, with athletes, celebrities, collectors, major sports leagues, brands and dealers all expected to participate.

Fanatics Fest will once again include a substantial sports card and memorabilia component. The event says more than 250 collectibles dealers from around the world will be on the show floor, giving attendees opportunities to buy, sell and trade sports cards and memorabilia throughout the four-day event. Exclusive Topps product drops, limited-edition collectibles, live breaking, autograph sessions, photo opportunities and other hobby-focused programming are also planned.

Fanatics says the Collectors Zone will return with cards ranging from entry-level collectibles to rare cards, autographs, game-used memorabilia and one-of-one pieces. The company is also promoting event-exclusive Topps releases that will only be available to attendees, continuing a format that has made product drops and limited merchandise a major part of previous Fanatics Fest events.

The athlete and celebrity lineup for 2027 has not yet been announced. Fanatics says those names, along with additional panels, live programming and interactive experiences, will be revealed closer to the event. Autographs and photo opportunities are not included with standard General Admission tickets and will be sold separately.

Tickets will begin going on sale in November. American Express card members will receive the first presale window from November 13 at 10 AM ET through November 15 at 11:59 PM ET. Returning Fanatics Fest ticket buyers will have a separate presale from November 17 through November 19, followed by the public on-sale beginning November 20 at 10 AM ET. Fanatics is also introducing additional ticket options for 2027, including four-day admission and a new Flex Ticket that lets buyers purchase a single-day ticket before deciding which day they want to attend. Flex Ticket holders must select their event date by May 31, 2027, and the selected day will be subject to availability.

A Fanatics ONE account will be required to purchase tickets. Fanatics is also offering various early-purchase benefits depending on the sales window, including FanCash, access to exclusive merchandise and early opportunities to purchase autograph and photo sessions.

The move to June 24-27 gives Fanatics Fest four full days at the Javits Center. Fanatics describes the event as a mix of sports convention, card show, autograph event and entertainment festival, with major league activations and stage programming operating alongside one of the largest collector marketplaces in the hobby.

Fanatics Fest NYC 2027 will take place Thursday, June 24 through Sunday, June 27 at the Javits Center in New York City. Additional information and ticket updates are available through the official Fanatics Fest website.
