MegaLAN 2026: Armageddon

Tournament signups STILL AVAILABLE at: start.gg/megalan

Tournament entrants and spectators may sign up in person on the day.

General signups are now all CLOSED. Thank you for your interest.

This space is constantly updated for more information! For quick communication with the organisers, please join our Discord community at: discord.gg/zbmjnV9GH9

WALK INS accepted on Saturday after 4pm. There will probably be a queue so first come first served. We will let artists know to wait for you (if they can) if you are stuck in the queue after 5pm. Walk-ins will stop at 9pm or once the queue is gone and we don't have attendees arriving for 5 minutes, whichever comes first.

MegaLAN makes its explosive return in 2026!

🧑‍🏭 Volunteer applications are still open! 🧑‍🏭

This year comes with alot of new changes, especially the new Artist Alley and Cosplay sections. Some more helping hands would be amazing to make sure everyone's needs are met at the event!

Here are some duties that volunteers need to carry out:

• Venue setup & packup,

• accessibility,

• ticketing,

• crowd control/move along,

• Artist Alley.

WE ARE ALSO LOOKING FOR A DEDICATED ACCESSIBILITY OFFICER. More info in the application form. Your support will go a long way to making sure MegaLAN runs smoothly and is as friendly as possible to attendees of diverse backgrounds!
