Nintendo's Splatoon 3 North American League 2026 has wrapped up its Regular Season. After eight weeks, eight teams have qualified for the Playoffs after more than one surprise twist.

The West needed four more teams for its #sws26 Second Edition Global Gauntlet Finals roster. The top four teams from this qualifier were invited, showcasing their skills before the final showdown.

The penultimate episode of the Splatoon 3 North American League brought match after match of sets fit for Grand Finals. One final week remains for teams to aim for a top 8 placement and qualify for Playoffs.

The SendouQ Season 11 Finale merged with IPL and AREA CUP's Second Edition Global Gauntlet to act as the GG2's first qualifier, determining the first few teams for the West's roster at the GG2 Finals.

Today we’re celebrating 4 years of Splatoon Stronghold!

It’s crazy how fast time has flown by and how much we’ve grown since 2022. We couldn’t have done it without you all, so to show our appreciation, our Head Artist Eli, has created some Cas wallpapers for the community!
