Supernova is again, and the most important Smash match is about to be even larger

Supernova (previously Tremendous Smash Con) is returning this summer season after the Tremendous Smash Bros. neighborhood was left questioning if 2025 was the final yr.

The FGC was left heartbroken after it was introduced that the Dulles Expo Middle, Supernova’s long-time house, could be made into an IKEA. Fortunately, Supernova is again, and it’s even larger than ever. The biggest Smash match on the planet is coming from August sixth to ninth.

And this time, it’s being held on the Baltimore Conference Middle.

Supernova 2026 options extra stuff than ever

To rejoice its even bigger house, Supernova is including many new occasions for the Smash neighborhood. As all the time, there might be a Tremendous Smash Bros. Melee main and Tremendous Smash Bros. Final main, together with tourneys for Smash 64, Brawl, and Wii U. The perfect gamers from all around the world might be there since this is among the extra prestigious Smash locations.

Supernova can also be house to The Smashies, a Smash-themed award present, and the enduring Combo Contest, which assessments gamers’ creativity and expertise in Smash 64 (it’s one in all my favourite components of the weekend).

This yr, Supernova is including a number of new actions and occasions since there’s twice the area:

Mario Kart Gauntlet Event

Free Throw Contest (sure, basketball, with $10,000 in prizes)

Expanded buying and selling card sport and tabletop sections

Panels and workshops
