For three decades, QuakeCon has been the place where friendships are forged over frag counts, sleep schedules disappear, and the glow of RGB lights up the night. In 2026, we’re leveling up the legacy with the ultimate Bring Your Own Computer experience.

Join thousands of gamers from across the globe at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas, for a legendary weekend of non-stop gaming, community, and celebration. From August 6–9, the BYOC hall will be alive 24/7 with tournaments, freeplay, meetups, tabletop gaming, contests, giveaways, and unforgettable moments you simply can’t experience anywhere else.

Whether you’ve been hauling your rig to QuakeCon since the CRT days, or this is your very first LAN, this is the year to be part of history. Expect special anniversary energy, throwback vibes, and the same unbeatable community spirit that’s defined QuakeCon for 30 years.

So pack your PC, wrangle those cables, load up your favorite games, and maybe give those keycaps a quick clean (or don’t — we know a certain contest that appreciates the chaos).

We can’t wait to celebrate 30 years of QuakeCon with you at the BYOC.
