Q2 2026 is stacked, bro. Between school holidays landing in June, MPL Season 14 heating up, and multiple con seasons overlapping, this is genuinely one of the busiest quarters for Malaysian fandom in recent memory.
Whether you're into gaming, anime, ACG, cosplay, or esports — there's something for you between April and June. I've pulled together every event worth knowing about, with dates, venues, and the practical stuff (tickets, registration, what to expect) so you're not scrambling last minute.
Save this. Share it. Your Discord server will thank you.
April 2026
TAGCC 2026 (The Anime, Games & Comics Convention)
Date: April 18–19, 2026
Venue: Mid Valley Exhibition Centre (MVEC), KL
Tickets: RM40 one-day / RM65 two-day | tagcc.com.my
TAGCC is the real deal for Malaysian ACG fans — consistently the best mid-year con in the country. Expect a packed artist alley, cosplay contest with serious prize money, imported merch you won't find on Shopee, and gaming booths running tourneys throughout the weekend.
What to look forward to:
- Cosplay Competition (open category + age-tiered divisions)
- Artist Alley with 100+ local and regional indie artists
- Gaming Zone (fighting games, rhythm games, indie showcases)
- Anime merch imports: figures, doujinshi, keychains, limited prints
- Guest cosplayers from Japan and Taiwan (lineup TBA closer to date)
Tips: Buy your tickets online — physical ticket queues at the door were chaos last year. Bring cash for Artist Alley, most booths don't do QR pay. Saturday is peak crowd, Sunday morning is the power hour for deals.
MPL Malaysia Season 14 — Regular Season (ongoing)
Date: April through May 2026
Format: Online matches + live events (watch parties at various venues)

Tickets (LAN watch parties): Free to RM30 depending on venue
MPL Season 14 is in full swing. The regular season runs through April into early May, with playoffs expected in late May. Eight teams, brutal format, Malaysian Mobile Legends at its finest.
Key teams to track: Todak, GEEK Fam, Team HAQ, and some hungry newcomers gunning for spots. The MPL meta post-patch-1.8.58 has shifted hard toward burst assassins — matchups have been wild.
Watch parties happening at gaming cafes across KL, JB, and Penang — check the MPL Malaysia Facebook for venue lists closer to match weekends.
Bandai Namco Southeast Asia Gaming Festival

Bandai Namco's doing their regional gaming festival in KL this year. Demo stations for upcoming titles (including Tekken 8 updates, Elden Ring spinoff content, and a surprise mobile reveal they've been teasing). Merch giveaways, photo ops with Gundam suits, and competitive brackets for Tekken 8.
Free entry but registration caps, so get on the list early.
May 2026
Gempak Starz Creators Fair 2026
Date: May 2–4, 2026
Venue: SACC Convention Centre, Shah Alam
Tickets: RM25 daily | RM60 full weekend pass
Gempak Starz pivoting hard into the creator economy this year. The Creators Fair combines Malaysian content creator meetups, webtoon/digital comic launches, and a cosplay showcase. Good for discovering local talent — this is where the up-and-coming Malaysian cosplayers and digital artists get their shine before the bigger cons.
If you follow Malaysian webcomic artists or local cosplayers on Instagram, chances are your favourites will be tabling here.

Nintendo Switch 2 is finally hitting Malaysian retail (official, not grey import) and the launch weekend is going to be an event. Switch stores are doing midnight launches in 1 Utama and KLCC, with demo units available for walk-ins all weekend.
Don't sleep on the launch bundle — Switch stores were teasing a Malaysia-exclusive bundle with a local exclusive carrying case. Official price: RM1,699 standard / RM2,099 bundle.
Comic Fiesta Mini 2026 (Rumoured)
Date: Late May 2026 (exact date TBC)
Venue: Unconfirmed — likely Sunway Pyramid Convention Centre or Mines International Exhibition Centre
CF Mini has been a thing the past few years — a smaller, more intimate event between the main December Comic Fiesta and TAGCC. Not confirmed officially yet, but the CF Discord has been hinting heavy. Keep an eye on their official channels; registration opens with maybe two weeks notice and fills up fast.
June 2026 — School Hols Season
June is school holiday season and that means every mall in KL is running a gaming or anime activation. The bigger confirmed events:
MidValley Gaming Carnival 2026
Date: June 6–14, 2026
Venue: Mid Valley Megamall, Ground Floor Atrium
Entry: Free
Annual mid-year gaming carnival at MidValley — always a good time. Mobile game booths, merchandise, local streamer appearances, rhythm game setups. Good for dragging non-gamer friends into the hobby.
AniMalaysia Summer Edition
Date: June 20–22, 2026
Venue: Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC)
Tickets: RM45 one-day / RM75 full weekend | animalaysia.com.my
Relatively new but growing fast — AniMalaysia has positioned itself as the summer complement to AFA (which typically hits in November). Focuses more on music and performance alongside the standard dealer hall and cosplay. Summer Edition usually features a concert night on Saturday.
Lineup for Summer Edition hasn't dropped yet as of publishing, but they've confirmed Japanese guest performances and a cosplay competition with RM10,000 in prizes.
