About MIPCOM
An entertainment content market, facilitating licensing and distribution deals across television, digital and film sectors.
MIPCOM 2026
MIPCOM runs 12–15 October 2026 in Cannes, France.
MIPCOM is a television and entertainment content market — the October gathering where studios, distributors, streamers and broadcasters buy and sell programming rights for the global market. It is a deal market rather than a fan event: the measure of a MIPCOM is the slate sold and the co-productions agreed.
The market traditionally fills the Palais des Festivals and the surrounding Croisette, and attendance spans every territory's content business. Its spring sibling MIPTV historically shared the venue; MIPCOM remains the year's principal content market.
