Blizzard has published the main BlizzCon 2026 schedule. For viewers in Vienna, the World of Warcraft program begins on Saturday evening and continues into early Sunday morning, with the main Deep Dive on Sunday evening.

The official guide says times and programming are subject to change. Check the source again before planning a watch party or setting an alarm.

The conversions use the PDT times in Blizzard’s guide and Europe/Vienna’s CEST offset for that weekend. The source also lists Warcraft esports and other Blizzard programming; the table above keeps only sessions directly useful to this editorial watch.

What Realm First is watching

The two What’s Next sessions are the most obvious places for broad announcements. The Sunday Deep Dive is where Blizzard can add detail to whatever it presents first. The Developers × Creators Showcase may offer useful context, but a panel title alone does not identify its subject.

Realm First will maintain one rolling event hub. A separate article appears only for a self-contained announcement with a primary source, a clear player impact and an explicit section covering what remains unknown.

What the schedule does not say

The official guide does not use the name Project Camelot and does not promise a Classic+ reveal. Those remain community expectations, not schedule facts.
