San Diego Comic-con is pretty much the pop culture event of the year, with all sorts of movies, TV shows and other franchises showing off their cast, teasing new projects and releasing footage for an eager audience of thousands (plus the millions following along at home).

This year, a few big hitters (like Captain Marvel, Avengers 4 and Game of Thrones) are sitting out the action, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t still absolutely loads of exciting panels and events happening over the four days of the convention.

Below you can see our simple (and fairly extensive) guide to what’s happening, and while you probably won’t be able to watch it live – SDCC doesn’t usually have any official streams – you can still keep an eye out on social media and on RadioTimes.com for all the biggest stories from the event as and when they happen. We’ve highlighted some of the biggest movie and TV events for you, so check them out.

At this stage, some panels have more information than others, so we may update the page when necessary. Some smaller panels (and those not dealing specifically with film or TV) may also have been left out so this page doesn’t get TOO unwieldy, but feel free to let us know if there’s anything major we’ve missed.

All times are in PT, with British Summer Time in brackets for UK fans – because of the eight-hour time difference, some of the panels are on quite early in the morning by UK time.
