New for 2026, Universal Nights is a limited-capacity event akin to the "After Hours" events held at Walt Disney World parks. You get access to characters and attractions (we don't yet know which ones) for three hours after Epic Universe has closed to everyone else, and snacks and non-alcoholic drinks are included in the ticket price. Attraction wait times should be low.

The event lasts from 9:00 pm to midnight, and tickets cost $179.99 plus tax. Those with Universal Nights tickets can enter Epic Universe as early as 7:00 pm.
