FFXIV Fan Fest 2023 London Schedule

The FFXIV Fan Fest 2023 London is upon us. We've broken down the entire schedule and explained to you what you can expect if you're watching from home.

The next Final Fantasy XIV Fan Fest is right around the corner. With its second stop taking place in London the entire community is on the edge of their seats expecting new information about the upcoming Dawntrail expansion and the future of the critically acclaimed MMORPG.

We're breaking down the schedule with all the times for panels and events on the live stage for your viewing pleasure.

FFXIV Fan Fest 2023 London Live Schedule

The event will take place for two days. From October 21 to October 22, 2023, the ExCeL London convention center will be the home to Final Fantasy XIV fans and staff alike, celebrating the game and its community.

If you can't attend, you can still catch most of the live stage content at home or wherever you want to get caught up on the latest information regarding the upcoming Danwtrail expansion and then some. Please note that the two concert performances will not be part of the live stream and unlike your regular Letters from the Producer Live, live English translations will be available for the whole show.

The entire stream will be available live on the official Twitch and YouTube channels and will later be available as VODs. For additional information keep an eye on the official twitter/X account.
