Critical Role just announced a lineup of five new “Exandrian one-shots” across two whole continents coming in 2026.
It’s new live show time for Critical Role. In a move that was surprising to no one but delighting many, Critical Role revealed a new slate of “global live shows” for 2026. Though ironically it’s somehow less global than this year’s lineup, which saw two live shows in Australia as well as London, but I guess that’s only if you count continents. The lineup for 2026 includes Atlanta, Berlin, Edinburgh, London, and Fort Worth. Here’s what we know so far.
Critical Role Live Shows 2026 – From Georgia To Texas (By Way Of Europe)
As the first decade of Critical Role comes to an end (and what a concept that is), the livestreamed-game-turned-media-empire launches into a new decade with a series of “Exandrian one-shots” meaning they’ll still take place in the world that DM Matt Mercer built and fans have gotten to know over the last ten years, with epic tales told around the world. Or at least on two continents. The newly announced slate of shows will hit Atlanta, Berlin, Edinburgh, London, and Fort Worth.
Each show will be its own epic tale with “unique staging, surprise guests, and merch drops.” I’m not sure what unique staging means, exactly, but presumably they’re turning the spectacle dial up a little more. Especially since these live shows are being produced in partnership with AEG Presents, an organization you probably best know from Coachella.
The five shows all center around Exandria – which leads one to wonder if they aren’t moving to a new world for the next “main campaign” though there’s no announcement on what that’ll be. We’re still chewing through Age of Umbra as far as livestreamed stuff goes. But a look at the press release teases out a few fun facts, notably that this spate of live shows will feature Travis Willingham’s debut as GM on December 3rd.
“Produced in partnership with AEG, each live show is a unique story, woven into the world of Exandria and brought to life by founding cast members Matthew Mercer (serving as GM for the first four shows), Ashley Johnson, Marisha Ray, Taliesin Jaffe, Travis Willingham, Sam Riegel, Laura Bailey, and Liam O’Brien. The schedule kicks off in Atlanta on May 26, then crosses the Atlantic to Berlin on July 6 and Edinburgh on July 12, returns in the fall for London on October 26, and concludes in Fort Worth on December 3 where for the first time, Travis Willingham will serve as the evening’s Game Master (GM). In addition, Fan Experience tickets will be available for all shows except Edinburgh, which provides attendees early entry, watch the 45-minute Q&A preshow, and have access to the best seats in the house.”
All this to say it’s a new era for Critical Role. With ten years of a steadily meteoric rise behind them, having a world tour already on the books for the start of the next decade seems like the best possible foot forward.
Tickets are likely to go very quickly. They’ll be available to Beacon members first, and then it’s the vagaries of the internet. So if you want to go to one of these, you’ll want to make sure you know when they go on sale, which you can do by following the link below!
Fort Worth isn’t even that far of a drive…!
