Fanatics Fest 2026 is designed as a full experience rather than a simple meet-and-greet. Over the four days, attendees can explore interactive sports zones that let fans test their skills, compete in challenges, and feel closer to the games they love.
A large collector’s hall will feature rare trading cards and memorabilia from top auction houses, giving collectors a chance to see items that are rarely available in one place.
Panel discussions will place fans face-to-face with athletes and entertainers who shape today’s sports world. These conversations are expected to focus on careers, business moves, and the future of fandom, all explained in ways that everyday fans can enjoy. Live podcast tapings and exclusive merchandise drops will also be part of the schedule, adding to the sense that something is always happening on the show floor.
Fanatics confirmed that more than 500 athletes and celebrities are expected to appear across the four days. In addition to Brady, Jay-Z, Scott and Hart, the growing talent list includes stars like Aaron Judge, Kevin Durant, Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, Mike Tyson, Diana Taurasi, Allen Iverson, Trae Young and Klay Thompson.
One of the most talked-about reveals came through a creative livestream on Twitch hosted by New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo. Using a video game-style Royal Rumble format, Fanatics surprised fans by unveiling guests in real time, turning a simple announcement into a moment fans could share together online.
With its mix of sports legends, music icons and fan-first experiences, Fanatics Fest 2026 is shaping up to be one of the biggest entertainment events of the summer in New York City.
