Get ready for four full days of gaming fun, fandom, and fierce competition — Supernova is back!
From August 6-9, 2026, families are invited to experience Supernova at the Baltimore Convention Center — an immersive celebration of video games, pop culture, and live entertainment centered on the world’s biggest Smash event! Please note the event’s new location — this year, the festival moves from Chantilly, VA, to Baltimore, MD.
Beyond the competitive arena — which includes flagship Smash tournaments and, for the first time ever, a headline Mario Kart tournament — enjoy live shows, a cosplay contest, the Smashies Awards, the fan-favorite Combo Contest, and a Friday night music experience featuring Virtual Riot. Explore a vendor marketplace with 90+ booths, an expanded trading card and tabletop gaming presence, an arcade with free play and friendlies, and even a National Free Throw Contest with big prizes on the line!
Whether you want to compete, explore, or just soak in the excitement, Supernova promises something for everyone. Competitor, spectator, and single-day passes are available; register in advance at the link below!
