Mumbai: GamingCon Bharat returns for its third edition on 17-18 October 2026 at the Bombay Exhibition Centre (NESCO), Mumbai. The second edition welcomed over 15,000 gaming enthusiasts. The 2026 edition scales up to over 20,000 visitors, making it one of India’s largest celebrations of gaming, esports, creators, pop culture, and interactive entertainment.

The festival continues its strategic partnership with the Indian Game Publishers & Developers Association (IGPDA) and again receives the support of the Government of Maharashtra.
