Epic Universe tickets are now available for 2026, and it looks like the park will not yet be added to Annual Passes.

Universal Orlando Annual Passholders can purchase specially-priced single-day tickets for Epic Universe through the end of 2026. This suggests Universal isn’t planning to add the park to Annual Passes any time soon. Since the tickets are still listed through all of 2026, it is possible Epic Universe might not be added to Annual Passes until 2027.

However, Universal has not made any announcements about Epic Universe Annual Passes, so nothing is confirmed. Epic Universe Passholder perks are only scheduled through the end of 2025.

Universal may be waiting until they have a better handle on the park’s wait times and capacity. Currently, Epic Universe’s most popular attractions experience wait times to rival New Year’s Eve at Magic Kingdom. These long waits are occurring even though the park has not reached its rumored intended max capacity of 40,000 guests a day. Annual Passholders being able to enter at any time would just compound these issues, unless there was an external decrease in tourism that reduced overall demand.

Universal Destinations & Experiences CEO Mark Woodbury has repeatedly teased expansion potential for Epic Universe. Though a brand-new land would be several years out, a few additional attractions, rides, and experiences could help with capacity issues and open the door for Annual Passes.

Currently, 1-Day Epic Universe Passholder tickets start at $127 for adults and $122 for children (ages 3-9). Read more about 2026 tickets, including new park hopping multi-day options.
