LA Auto Show & AutoMobility LA 2026

Q: When is the 2026 LA Auto Show and AutoMobility LA?

AutoMobility LA, the trade and media day, is Thursday, November 19, 2026. The LA Auto Show is open to the public Friday, November 20 through Sunday, November 29, 2026, at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Q: What are LACC's rules for displaying vehicles?

Per LACC's Event Planning Guide, displayed vehicles need a scaled floor plan approved by the LACC fire marshal; fuel tanks may not exceed 1/4 capacity, batteries must be disconnected, and vehicles cannot block aisles or exits. All-electric vehicles may keep batteries connected with fuses removed during open show hours with a Fire Safety Officer on duty. Hydrogen and fuel-cell vehicles need case-by-case fire marshal review, with specs due 30 days before move-in.

About This Event

The 2026 LA Auto Show returns to the Los Angeles Convention Center with AutoMobility LA, its trade and media day, on Thursday, November 19, followed by ten public days from November 20 to 29. The show occupies a downtown campus next to Crypto.com Arena, where Lakers, Kings and KATSEYE dates overlap show week, so evening parking and nearby restaurants fill up. Exhibitors work under LACC's union rules, including Teamsters Local 986 for drayage and Local 831 for exhibit installation, and vehicle displays follow the fire marshal's quarter-tank and battery rules.
