Epic Universe 2026 Tickets Are Now On Sale — But Still No Annual Pass Access
Epic Universe is calling in 2026 — and tickets are officially available for every single day of the year. Universal’s newest and most immersive theme park is now accepting single-day ticket purchases through the end of 2026… but there’s still one major catch:
🎫 No annual passes allowed (yet).
If you’re a current Universal Orlando passholder, you’ll need to buy a separate discounted ticket to experience Epic Universe. Let’s break down the details and prices — and how you can start planning your visit now.
🌌 What Is Epic Universe?
Universal Epic Universe opened in May 2025, and has quickly become one of the most talked-about new theme parks in the world. The park includes:
Celestial Park – the dreamy entry land
Super Nintendo World – featuring Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge and Donkey Kong Country
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic
Dark Universe – Universal Monsters-themed world
How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk
🔥 From towering roller coasters to interactive attractions and groundbreaking design, this park is next-level epic.
💸 Epic Universe 2026 Ticket Prices
🎟️ Single-Day Tickets (General Public):
Prices range from $139 to $199 depending on the date
Pricing follows Universal’s tiered calendar structure (holidays and weekends are higher)
💳 Annual Passholder Discount Tickets:
Universal Orlando passholders can purchase single-day tickets with a discount
Prices range from $127 to $178, depending on the day
Valid for passholders of any tier
Still no official annual pass tier includes Epic Universe
🧠 Fun Fact: That $199 price point now matches Disney’s most expensive single-day ticket, making Epic Universe one of the most premium theme park experiences in the country.
😕 Why No Annual Pass Access Yet?
Despite high demand, Epic Universe is still not included in any Universal Orlando Annual Pass — not even the highest tier.
This likely reflects capacity management and high demand as Universal continues to ramp up operations in the new park’s first full year.
Passholders will still receive:
Access to Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, and Volcano Bay
Discounts on single-day Epic Universe tickets
But no full inclusion (yet!)
We’ll be watching closely to see if a new Epic-inclusive pass is introduced in 2026 or beyond.
