About

Dolby Theatre, 6801 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, CA. June 5th, 2026. Summer Game Fest takes the building where the Oscars happen and fills it with the games industry's mid-year announcement moment. Every major publisher and many independent studios use this event to release trailers, gameplay reveals, and release date announcements to a room that is simultaneously the most attentive gaming audience in the world.

SGF is where the E3-shaped hole in the gaming calendar now lives. The show streams globally, but the audience in the Dolby Theatre experiences the announcements before the internet processes them — the reactions happen in real time, with the people around you, before the takes arrive. A trailer reveal in that room is the announcement, not the broadcast of it.

If you're in the industry, this is the room where the year's games landscape becomes visible. If you follow gaming closely, attending in person is the experience that the stream approximates but doesn't replicate. summergamefest.com for registration options and the associated public events that run throughout the June 5th-6th window in Hollywood. The conversation that happens in the hours after the show is part of it.

Triton Gaming Expo 2026
In 6 days · May 30 Price Center, UCSD, 9500 Gilman Dr…

The Triton Gaming Expo at UCSD's Price Center exists because students wanted it to exist. That is the entire origin story — no corporate sponsor, no outside promoter, no venue deal negotiated through a regional events company. A gaming expo organized by people who go to school here, for an audience that actually plays. That is what makes it feel different from the moment you walk in. May 30, 2026 at Price Center, UCSD, La Jolla. Tabletop gaming rooms running open play from the time doors open. Video game setups from current-gen to deep retro. Tournaments with real brackets across multiple titles. The specific atmosphere that exists when a room is organized by people who genuinely care about what they are running — no sponsorship banners every twelve feet, no activation booths, just games and an audience that came to play. Price Center's open layout puts you steps from the coast in La Jolla in late May, which is as good as San Diego gets. If you are in the county and anywhere near the hobby, this is worth your Saturday. One of the best game rooms in San Diego, built for one day. Organized by Triton Gaming at UCSD.

West Coast Card Show — TCG Edition Ontario 2026
In 4 days · May 28 – May 31 Ontario Convention Center, 2000 E …

The West Coast Card Show TCG Edition at the Ontario Convention Center is four days of trading card gaming culture at its most concentrated. Pokémon, One Piece TCG, Magic: The Gathering, and sports cards all share the floor with live grading services, influencer appearances, competitive tournaments, and a vendor hall that attracts sellers from across the West Coast. The Ontario edition is distinct from the larger Anaheim show — it has a sharper TCG identity and a more competition-focused energy. If you are hunting specific singles, looking to grade a collection, or want to compete in open-bracket formats across multiple card games in a single weekend, this is the show that makes the trip worthwhile. The Ontario Convention Center is easy to reach from across the 909, LA, and the South Bay. Free-to-attend areas are available throughout the show floor. Competitive registration varies by game and bracket. Vendor table applications and spectator information available at westcoastcardshow.com.

In 4 days · May 28 Free / $5 suggested 7052 Miramar Rd, San Diego, CA 921…

Dungeons and Dragons Adventurers League at Game Empire San Diego is organized play for the person who wants to run a character through a real campaign without needing to already know a Dungeon Master or a regular group.

Dice are available. The only prerequisite is showing up. Adventurers League removes every barrier to tabletop RPG play that isn't already at the table. No group required. No campaign setup required. No years of lore to catch up on. The adventures are designed to run in a single session with a beginning and an end, which means you're never showing up to episode forty of something you missed the start of. You play a complete story. You come back next week if you want to keep going. Game Empire San Diego is at 7052 Miramar Rd, San Diego. gameempire.com for the weekly schedule and table availability. Character creation guidelines at dnd.wizards.com/adventurers-league. New players are not just tolerated here — this format was designed for them.

Magic Meetup — Commander Night at Video Vortex DTLA Coming Soon 4 days away
Magic Meetup — Commander Night at Video Vortex DTLA
In 4 days · May 28 Video Vortex DTLA, Los Angeles, CA

Commander Night at Video Vortex DTLA is a recurring Magic: The Gathering Commander format meetup held at one of downtown Los Angeles's most unique venues — a retro video game bar packed wall-to-wall with playable arcade machines, vintage consoles, and gaming nostalgia. The combination of tabletop card gaming and a retro gaming environment makes this one of the more distinctive Commander nights in the city. Commander is Magic's most popular casual format, played with 100-card singleton decks and typically in four-player pods. The Video Vortex meetup is open to all Commander players regardless of experience level or deck power level. The focus is on fun, creativity, and the kind of game state that produces stories you retell for years. The venue's food and drink service runs throughout the evening — this is a proper bar and restaurant, not just a card shop backroom. Located in downtown LA, the venue is accessible by Metro and has street parking nearby. The May 28 session runs from 7pm. Check the Eventbrite listing for upcoming recurring dates throughout 2026.

Pokemon TCG Regional Championship — San Diego
In 6 days · May 30 – May 31 San Diego Convention Center, 111 W…

San Diego Convention Center, May 30th. The Pokémon TCG Regional Championship — Masters division at the top of the bracket, open age divisions running throughout, and a room that understands what competitive Pokémon actually looks like up close. Regionals draws players from across the Southwest who have been testing this format since the last set dropped. The level of play at the top tables is worth watching even if you're not registered — decks built around specific counters, plays made in the final minutes of a round that determine travel points and World Championship invites. The side event area runs all day for players who dropped from the main or just want reps in the room. Judges in official regalia move through the aisles with practiced calm. There's a specific atmosphere to a TCG Regional: binders and sleeves and the particular tension of a timed round winding down at a critical board state. If you play, register at rk9.gg. If you don't play and want to understand why this game still fills convention halls, come watch the top tables during Day 2. The Pokémon Regional is the proof.

Anime Riverside is the Inland Empire's flagship anime and pop culture convention, and the 2026 edition is the 5th year of a show that has grown from a grassroots gathering into one of SoCal's most beloved community cons.

The Riverside Convention Center is centrally located for attendees from the IE, LA, and San Diego — making this a genuine regional gathering point for SoCal anime fans. Badges available on Tixr.

The Riverside Convention Center hands itself over to anime for the weekend of May 30-31, 2026. Two days, 250-plus vendors and artists, and dozens of guest voice actors including Sean Schemmel, Johnny Yong Bosch, Brianna Knickerbocker, and Kaiji Tang among the confirmed lineup.

Parking is available on-site and in surrounding garages. Single-day and weekend badges are available at animeriverside.com. Cosplay is welcome and celebrated throughout both days.

GameSync San Diego, May 30th. $10 entry.

The fighting game players, the card game community, the platform fighter bracket — everyone is in the building, which creates the specific energy of a game store tournament night where you can wander from setup to setup and catch someone's incredible run in a game you've been meaning to try. $10 entry. May 30th. gamesync.us for the full title list and bracket format. The Monthly Open is the game night that doesn't require planning — just show up, find out what's running, and get in.
