The development comes a day after the hit HBO series broke its own record by garnering a historic 32 Emmy nominations for the final season on Tuesday.
Benioff and Weiss received the nod for writing the much-debated series finale and Sapochnik for directing the Battle of Winterfell episode 'The Long Night'.
Comic-Con was expected to be the first public appearance by the showrunners since the divisive series finale aired in May.
No reason was given for the schedule change.
