🎬✨ Fandom After Dark Is Back! Universal Fan Fest Nights Return in 2026

This isn’t just a theme park event… it’s a love letter to fandom.

If you’ve ever wanted to step inside the worlds you geek out over, this is your moment. Universal Studios Hollywood has officially confirmed the return of Universal Fan Fest Nights on select nights from April 23 through May 16, 2026—and it’s shaping up to be bigger, bolder, and even more immersive. 🎮✨

This is Universal after hours, reimagined for fans who don’t just watch the stories… they live them.

🌌 What Is Universal Fan Fest Nights?

Universal Fan Fest Nights is a fandom-focused nighttime event where guests step directly into immersive worlds inspired by:

• Sci-fi

• Fantasy

• Gaming

• Anime

• Film franchises

Think exclusive experiences, limited-time entertainment, themed environments, and a crowd that’s just as excited as you are.

The energy? Immaculate.

The vibes? Unmatched.

👻 FIRST 2026 Reveal: Scooby-Doo x Universal Monsters

The first fandom experience announced for 2026 is already a showstopper.

Guests will experience an exclusive Scooby-Doo x Universal Monsters crossover set on the legendary Universal Studios Backlot.

This is the first reveal of many—and if past years are any indication, more fandom announcements are coming that will absolutely break the internet.

Scooby snacks optional.

Screaming in delight? Guaranteed.

🎟️ Presale Is LIVE (and Comes With Perks!)

Here’s where timing really matters.

Presale access is now open, and guests who book during the presale window receive:

• 🏅 A limited-edition collectible medallion

• 🎉 Exclusive bragging rights (obviously)

• 🚨 Early access before event nights start selling out

These medallions are only available during presale—once that window closes, they’re gone.
