D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event returns to Anaheim, California, August 14 through August 16, 2026, but this year you won’t necessarily need to be inside the convention center to experience some of the biggest moments.
Disney has announced that select D23 panels, presentations, concerts, and showcases will stream on Disney+, giving fans at home a chance to join the celebration throughout the weekend.
D23 2026 will feature more than 50 panels, presentations, and performances across three days, covering the massive world of Disney entertainment, including animation, television, streaming, theme parks, and more.

For fans watching from home, one of the biggest presentations to keep an eye on could be Saturday night’s Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase, where Disney traditionally looks toward the future of its theme parks, attractions, cruise experiences, and other destinations.
D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event officially runs August 14 through August 16 in Anaheim, but Disney+ is making sure the convention floor isn’t the only place where Disney fans can be part of the weekend.
So grab the snacks, get Disney+ ready, and prepare for three days of Disney fandom, announcements, reveals, and hopefully more than a few surprises.
