PAX Australia 2026 will introduce ‘Cosplay Land’ as a dedicated space to “support and celebrate the cosplay community.”

This space will be created on the mezzanine level, and PAX wants this area to “serve as a central hub for cosplayers of all levels.” You’ll find theatres hosting panels here, a repair station, change rooms, a cosplay photography area, and a community media wall. You’ll also be able to relax in a set-up lounge area and connect with other cosplayers and cosplay fans here.

PAX Australia will also host the Cosplay Central Crown Championship for the fifth year in 2026.
