BlizzCon 2026 WoW schedule revealed – how to earn every viewing reward

To collect every World of Warcraft viewing reward from BlizzCon 2026, plan for 12 cumulative hours on an eligible stream and connect Twitch or YouTube to Battle.net before watching. The event is free to stream, with the Opening Ceremony beginning at 10:30 a.m. PDT on Saturday, September 12.

Four reward milestones

The WoW reward track advances with cumulative viewing time:

• 2 hours: 200 Trader's Tender
• 4 hours: Cuddly Blue Grrgle housing decor
• 8 hours: Fluffy Comfy Flying Quilt mount
• 12 hours: Venomous Champion's Illustrious Banner toy

Eligible Twitch viewing starts on September 12 at 9:30 a.m. PDT and continues through September 27. YouTube viewing covers the event weekend, September 12–14 in Finnish time. Twitch viewers may switch between eligible streams in the World of Warcraft category, but opening several streams does not accelerate progress. YouTube viewers need to use the official Warcraft channel.

Link accounts before the broadcast

Connect the chosen platform to Battle.net before eligible viewing begins. Twitch rewards must also be claimed through the Drops Inventory. Check the connection again after changing a password or account link; attaching a different Twitch account can be subject to a seven-day cooldown.

The rewards are for modern WoW and are not available in WoW Classic. The housing decor also requires access to Midnight's housing feature. In-person attendees can receive the rewards by linking their BlizzCon Pass to Battle.net no later than September 18.

What should WoW viewers follow?

Alongside the Opening Ceremony and major World of Warcraft panels, the programme includes the Mythic Dungeon International and Arena World Championship finals. Not every on-site performance is streamed, but the Opening Ceremony, major panels and esports are included in the free online coverage.

The full schedule and wow-anniversary.fi's event coverage are collected in the BlizzCon 2026 hub. The 12-hour target does not need to be completed in one sitting: eligible watch time accumulates during the campaign window on the selected platform.
