Planning around the Comic Fiesta 2026 schedule? You’re looking at Malaysia’s longest-running anime, comic, and games (ACG) convention — active since 2002 and still growing, according to.
This guide lays out the real two-day timetable, ticket pass types, and what makes this event worth a trip — even if you’re flying in from the U.S.
Comic Fiesta 2026 Two-Day Schedule Overview
Comic Fiesta 2026 runs 19–20 December 2026 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC), per. Doors open at 10:00 a.m. both days.
Day 1 Schedule — Friday, 19 December 2026
Day 1 kicks off the con floor: exhibitor booths, artist alley, and early stage programming. Expect long lines at popular booths in the first hour — arriving right at opening time gives you the best shot at photo ops and merchandise before stock runs low.
Day 2 Schedule — Saturday, 20 December 2026
Day 2 typically carries the bigger crowd. Based on Comic Fiesta’s own attendance pattern — 75,000 visitors in 2025, up from 73,000 in 2024 and 69,000 in 2022 — the final day draws the heaviest foot traffic, especially for closing stage events and cosplay finals.
Comic Fiesta 2026 Events & Activities Timetable
Beyond the exhibitor floor, Comic Fiesta runs a full slate of stage competitions and community activities across both days.
Cosplay Invitational and Stage Competitions
The Cosplay Invitational headlines the stage lineup — an all-star competition gathering Malaysia’s top cosplayers, per. Past editions also hosted major concert tie-ins, including the hololive STAGE World Tour, which required a Day 1 event pass for entry.
Malaysian Comickers’ Challenge, Speedpainter Showdown & Community Activities
The Malaysian Comickers’ Challenge (MCC) gives local artists a shot at industry recognition, judged by international comic professionals. The Speedpainter Showdown pits illustrators against the clock in quickfire drawing rounds. Rounding things out: the Table Flip Challenge, CF 100 Days Countdown artwork series, and the maid-and-butler-themed La Petite Fox café — all confirmed recurring fixtures per Comic Fiesta’s own event page.

How Comic Fiesta Compares to Rose City Comic Con 2026

Rose City runs three days to Comic Fiesta’s two, but Comic Fiesta pulls in far more attendees — 75,000 in a single weekend, dwarfing most regional U.S. cons of similar size.
Why Anime Culture Is Booming in Malaysia
Anime holds real staying power in Malaysia. One Piece ranked among the country’s top five most-demanded TV titles in a recent weekly chart from data firm Parrot Analytics, according to. Malaysia isn’t just consuming anime, either — Mechamato: The Movie, a Malaysian-made animated film, became the only non-Japanese title to crack the top 30 fan favorites at the Tokyo Anime Award Festival 2023, per.
