November 18th, 2025

If you need an excuse to get out of the house this weekend (or, honestly, an excuse to buy more games), Toronto Game Expo is back with its Fall 2025 edition, and it’s a big one.

It’s happening November 22 & 23 at the Better Living Centre in Exhibition Place, and the schedule is packed in that classic “I should bring a backpack and snacks” kind of way.

📍 Better Living Centre, Exhibition Place
📅 Saturday, Nov 22 — 11 AM to 7 PM
📅 Sunday, Nov 23 — 11 AM to 4 PM
🔗 Details & Tickets: torontogameexpo.ca

What’s Going On Inside the Expo

Here’s a peek at the weekend lineup:

• 600+ exhibitor tables
• Cosplay guests and event
• Pixel Paradise free-play arcade
• Free-play console gaming
• Video game tournaments
• Indie Developers Showcase
• Pokémon TCG tournaments
• Free tabletop gaming, RPGs, and chess
• Anime + gaming celebrity guests
• Kids Zone
• EB Games prize giveaway

It’s one of those events where you walk in looking for one thing and accidentally discover six others you didn’t know you needed. It’s that rare mix of creators, collectors, and enthusiasts all in one place, which is exactly the kind of energy we love to see in Toronto.

Why It Matters to Us

Toronto Game Expo isn’t just a shopping trip or a nostalgia hit — it’s one of those anchor events that bring the whole ecosystem together. Developers, collectors, artists, families, curious newcomers… everyone piles into the same space and remembers why this city’s game scene is special.

We also want to take a moment to thank Toronto Game Expo for supporting our mission and the ongoing work of Futures Forward, our mentorship program for emerging game creators across Canada. Their support helps us keep that work accessible, sustainable, and rooted in community care.

That kind of collaboration is what keeps the scene healthy, and we’re grateful.

See You This Weekend?

Whether you’re heading to shop, to play, or to explore, Toronto Game Expo is a great way to spend the weekend and connect with the city’s gaming community.
