About Frogbyte

Frogbyte is Italy's largest LAN party: over fifty non-stop hours of gaming that bring hundreds of players together in a single large area of the Palazzo del Turismo in Jesolo. In 2026, the event leaves Pordenone for the first time and lands on the Venetian coast, with crossplay tournaments, retro gaming, driving simulators, and a tournament stage broadcast live on Twitch. The weekend opens its doors to the public with free admission, featuring arcade cabinets, consoles, and free-play stations for everyone.

Italy's largest LAN party lands in Jesolo

For the first time in its history, Frogbyte leaves Pordenone and chooses Jesolo, in the Province of Venice, as its new home. The event, which has established itself as the largest LAN party in Italy, occupies an entire dedicated area of the Palazzo del Turismo in Piazza Brescia, transforming it for an entire weekend into a gaming headquarters open to players and curious visitors.

What is a BYOC+ LAN party?

The heart of Frogbyte is the BYOC+ (Bring Your Own Computer or Console) format: participants bring their own setup and connect to the local network to play together, compete in tournaments, and share over fifty hours of non-stop activity. Approximately 200 stations are planned in total, including PCs and consoles, complete with a dormitory, bathrooms, and showers for those who stay to play day and night.

Not just competition: arcade, simulators, and talks

Alongside the competitions, Frogbyte offers a retro gaming area curated by 12Bit with historical cabinets and consoles, driving simulators by Project51M for virtual motorsport enthusiasts, and free-play stations. The tournament stage hosts live competitions, shows, and community events, while the FrogTalks address the relationship between video games and psychology. The main tournaments are broadcast live on Twitch.

A nationally significant event

With its move to Jesolo, Frogbyte brings one of Italy's most vibrant gaming communities to the Veneto coast, capable of attracting players, creators, and enthusiasts from all over the peninsula in an event that combines competition, digital culture, and social interaction.

Frogbyte — edition 2026

The 2026 edition marks Frogbyte's move from Pordenone to Jesolo: from June 5 to 7, the Palazzo del Turismo hosts over 50 non-stop hours of gaming, with BYOC+ tournaments, retro gaming, simulators, and a tournament stage. Saturday and Sunday, public admission is free.

Frogbyte 2026 inaugurates its new venue in Jesolo with three days of non-stop gaming at the Palazzo del Turismo. The BYOC+ format provides approximately 200 stations for PCs and consoles, with dormitory and services for those playing day and night.

The weekend is open to the public with free admission: retro gaming arcade cabinets by 12Bit (historical cabinets and consoles), Project51M driving simulators, free-play stations, and the tournament stage with live competitions broadcast on Twitch.
