Fanatics Fest NYC 2027 Dates Announced for June 24-27

Fanatics Fest NYC 2027 Dates Announced

Fanatics has announced the dates for Fanatics Fest NYC 2027, with the event set for June 24-27, 2027. The show will remain at the Javits Center in New York City, continuing its run as one of the hobby calendar's major summer events.

The 2027 edition marks a return to the show's traditional timing in June. In 2026, Fanatics Fest was held in July because of scheduling overlap with the World Cup. Moving back to June gives collectors more space between Fanatics Fest and the National Sports Collectors Convention, which typically draws many of the same hobbyists.

Ticket Pre-Sale and On-Sale Dates

Fanatics Fest has also outlined several ticket sale windows for 2027. Different groups will have access on different dates, beginning with American Express cardholders and followed by past attendees and the general public.

• November 13, 2026 at 10 a.m. EST - American Express cardholders
• November 17, 2026 at 10 a.m. EST - Past Fanatics Fest attendees
• November 20, 2026 at 10 a.m. EST - Public pre-sale, including first-time attendees

According to the Fanatics Fest website, past attendees who buy during the early window can receive perks that include a $15 credit toward an autograph or photo op, early entry to the show floor, and pre-sale access to autographs and photo ops.

Why Fanatics Fest Matters to Collectors

Fanatics Fest has become a notable stop for collectors because it combines the hobby with the broader sports world. The show floor typically features interactive booths, athlete appearances, and a mix of fan experiences that set it apart from a standard card show.

Recent editions have drawn major names from across sports, including Tom Brady, Lionel Messi, and LeBron James. That mix of star power and hobby-focused programming has helped make Fanatics Fest a summer highlight for many collectors.

What Collectors Should Watch For Next

With the 2027 dates now set, collectors can start planning travel and ticket timing around the June schedule. The return to the earlier summer slot should also make it easier for attendees who want to work both Fanatics Fest and the National Sports Collectors Convention into their calendar.

More details on programming, guests, and show features are expected to follow as the event gets closer, but the first key piece is now in place: Fanatics Fest NYC 2027 will take over the Javits Center from June 24-27.
