The full programme for the 2026 edition, including guests and new features, will be available closer to the date. The official poster, created by author Natacha Bustos, features a colourful style that reflects the diversity and creativity of the event's spirit. The iconic Venetian towers of Montjuïc frame the artwork.
Attendees can reach the exhibition centre using public transport. Metro lines L1 or L3 stop at Espanya, while several bus lines, including D20, H12, V7, 9, 13, 27, 37, 50, 65, 79, 91, 109, 150, and 165, also serve the area. FGC lines S8, S33, R6, R5, and S4 also provide access.
Ticketing and Awards
Tickets for Comic Barcelona 2026 are not yet on sale. They will be available for purchase online in advance and at the Plaça Espanya ticket booths once the event begins. Since 1988, the Saló del Còmic has presented prestigious awards to the most outstanding works of the previous year across various categories.
This year introduces a new double recognition for comics aimed at younger readers. The awards will now distinguish separately between children's comics and youth comics, acknowledging the specific needs and interests of these different age groups.
