PAX Aus 2026 returns to the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre from October 9–11, 2026, bringing Australia’s largest celebration of games and gaming culture back to Melbourne for three days of playable games, panels, tournaments, esports, tabletop gaming, cosplay, creators, and community events. The convention will once again serve as the closing event of Melbourne International Games Week.
Attendees can explore a large expo floor featuring major publishers, hardware companies, independent developers, and upcoming releases, alongside dedicated areas such as PAX Rising and the Aus Indie Showcase. PAX Aus 2026 will also feature tabletop gaming, tournaments, esports, live panels, cosplay, community activities, and hands-on demos throughout the weekend.
The 2026 expo floor includes more than 90 games across the Aus Indie Showcase, PAX Rising, and New Zealand’s CODE program, along with major publishers and gaming companies presenting upcoming software and hardware. The event will also include esports programming, creator activities, gaming technology, and several Australian-first playable experiences.
PAX Aus is both an in-person convention and partially streamed event. Organizers have confirmed four dedicated livestreams covering panels from several of the event’s largest theatres, alongside a dedicated PAX Arena esports stream. Selected panels are also expected to be available afterward through the official PAX Aus YouTube channel.
Show hours are scheduled for 10:00 AM–11:30 PM on Friday and Saturday, with the Expo Hall closing at 6:00 PM, and 10:00 AM–6:00 PM on Sunday.

The BGS Conference and other stage programming will also feature companies and industry figures presenting gaming and technology news, while areas such as the Monster Energy BGS esports arena provide competitive gaming and live entertainment throughout the show.

Brasil Game Show is primarily an in-person gaming expo, but BGS also maintains official YouTube and Twitch channels where event programming and highlights are distributed.
