Ahead of San Diego Comic-Con 2026, DC has opened registration for Unlock DC, a mobile-first browser app that offers real-time information about the publisher and studio’s convention programming, activations, panels, and experiences. For fans excited about DC’s lineup this year, Unlock creates a central hub for easy navigation that will even send reminders.
During SDCC ’26, registered Unlock DC users can visit DC Street Signs located around the convention area, where they can scan QR codes that unlock exclusive discounts and earn reward stars. These can be redeemed for rewards like a SDCC-exclusive collectible watch at the DC Reward Truck.
DC Unlock will unveil the secret location of the DC Reward Truck when the reward redemption period begins. It will appear at one location per day on Thursday and Friday, so those hoping to cash in will want to pay attention to both the Unlock website and DC’s social media for alerts.
How to register for Unlock DC
On a mobile device, visit UnlockDC.com and enter your birthdate, then read the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy before accepting. Register a preferred email and click the magic login link. Registrants who sign up before Unlock DC goes live on Thursday morning can sign up to get an alert when its content is available.
Stay tuned to The Beat for more news from SDCC ’26.
