Star Trek Beams Into SDCC 2026 With Free Screenings, Panels, Possibly Landing On Convention Center

Star Trek San Diego Comic-Con 2026

Star Trek is beaming into San Diego Comic-Con 2026 with free no-badge required screenings of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4, a Hall H panel, and also based on the alarming graphic Paramount sent out to press, possibly landing the Enterprise on the convention center, instantly killing everyone inside.

More seriously, the Star Trek Hall H panel will feature cast and crew of Strange New Worlds, followed by a 60th anniversary celebration featuring everyone from George Takei to Michael Dorn and Doug Jones. And that will be followed by a screening of the first two episodes of Strange New Worlds Season 4, held outside the convention center with no badge required — though you do need to reserve tickets in advance.

There are other panels and activations out there, all of which you can read about below. And fingers crossed they don’t try to land a starship on the convention center, this con needs to…… Live long and prosper.
