Based on a recent Los Angeles Tourism & Convention Board meeting, the earliest that E3 might come back could be 2026 assuming it ever comes back. During the meeting it was stated that E3 was cancelled for both 2024 and 2025.
In a statement to Axios’ Stephen Totilo, an ESA rep stated that they have not made any official decisions yet regarding potential plans for an E3 event next year.
Based on current speculation, if E3 were to return for 2024 it probably would not take place in LA and instead a different city.

As spotted on ResetEra, the Los Angeles Tourism & Convention Board held a regular meeting discussing tourism for the city. Among the slides in this presentation was one about convention sales, with a note mentioning “E3 cancellations for 2024 & 2025.”
A previous report had indicated prospective dates for E3 2024 and 2025, but no actual dates or plans had been announced. In an interview with Gamesindustry.biz earlier this year, discussing the cancellation of E3 2023 and any future 2024 plans, ESA president and CEO Stanley Pierre-Louis said the company was committed to “providing an industry platform for marketing and convening”, but did not have any news to share at the time.
An ESA spokesperson told Axios’ Stephen Totilo that E3 2024 is still to be determined. The quote, via Totilo: “ESA is currently in conversation with ESA members and other stakeholders about E3 2024 (and beyond), and no final decisions about the events have been made at this time.”
