Fanatics Fest 2025

Scheduled for June 20-22, 2025, at the Javits Center, Fanatics Fest will bring together an even larger assembly of renowned athletes, leagues, teams, and brands under one roof. The event will be significantly larger than its debut edition, offering expanded space, attractions, celebrity appearances, and opportunities to purchase exclusive merchandise.

“Seeing the pure joy, excitement and enthusiasm from all the fans who attended our first event last summer was absolutely incredible and I could not be more excited to bring Fanatics Fest back to New York City this June,” said Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin.

Building on the success of its inaugural edition in August 2023, which drew over 70,000 fans, Fanatics Fest 2025 will feature:

An expanded schedule of live events, panel discussions, and interactive attractions.

• Larger autograph zones and superstores.
• A broader range of exclusive products and collaborations.
• More space for activations by leagues and brands.
• A larger showcase of trading cards and other collectibles.

“We’re going bigger and better next year, adding hundreds of athletes and celebrities to the roster, blowing out the event space to add many more interactive experiences from the top leagues and teams, creating more opportunities for fans and collectors to meet their favorite athletes, more exclusive product drops and overall taking the entire event to a new level. June can’t come fast enough,” concluded Rubin.

Over 500 Athletes and Celebrities

Fanatics Fest 2025 will host more than 500 world-class athletes, artists, creators, and celebrities, including many who participated in the previous event.

Presale tickets for attendees of Fanatics Fest 2023 will be available from December 5-8, with general sales beginning on December 13.

The goal of Fanatics Fest is to create a unique space where fans from diverse backgrounds can come together to celebrate their passions for sports, culture, and collectibles. Organizers aim to make the event bigger and better each year, taking fan feedback into account.
