You Can Stream New York Comic Con for Free. Here's How

Not everyone can make it to the Javits Center to attend New York Comic Con this year, and if you feel like you’ll be missing out on surprise announcements and the Dragon Ball celebration, there’s still a way to see what’s happening: Livestream it from Oct. 18 to 21.

Select panels will be streaming from the event’s Main stage and Empire stage during its four-day run, giving pop culture fans a peek at guest appearances and sessions for BlumFest, Netflix’s The Electric State, Lord of the Rings: The War of Rohirrim and more. Sony will reveal some newness for Kraven and Venom 3 in its Friday night spot. And there’s also a special celebration in honor of SpongeBob’s 25th anniversary that will feature the actors who play Bikini Bottom’s most iconic sponge, Patrick Star, Mr. Krabs, Sandy and Squidward.

Event organizer ReedPop has shared a list of where fans can stream NYCC panels for free. For the Main Stage, you can visit Popverse’s social media accounts by clicking these links: YouTube, X, Facebook, Instagram and Twitch.
