It’s finally here! Comic-Con 2020 has officially kicked off the unique virtual celebration of all things nerdy, transforming San Diego Comic-Con into Comic-Con@Home for the rest of the week.

But if you’re feeling overwhelmed with all of the options, don’t worry! We here at ComicBook.com have assembled this comprehensive guide so you can take advantage of everything Comic-Con 2020 has to offer.

Comic-Con@Home kicked off on Wednesday, July 22nd and will be live-streamed online for the subsequent five days. Over the course of the convention, panels and exhibits will be available to watch and participate in virtually. When a panel is set to begin, the link on the Comic-Con website to that panel’s stream will go live, and folks can log on from anywhere to watch it take place.

Wondering exactly where to find these panels? Or, perhaps, which panels are the ones people will be talking about? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Below, you’ll find a complete guide to Comic-Con@Home.

What you’ll find here isn’t a schedule of EVERY panel taking place this year. There are plenty of others you can explore and read about on Comic-Con’s website. However, we have gathered all of the major panels and provided links to their individual pages. Once those panels begin, the streaming links on the panel pages will be available.
