Nintendo of America has confirmed details for the Splatoon 3 Golden Egg Feast 2026, a Salmon Run tournament running on November 7, 2026.
The event uses the Tournament Manager feature in the SplatNet 3 application, accessible through the Nintendo Switch Online app on compatible smart devices.
Splatoon 3, developed by Nintendo EPD and released in 2022 for Nintendo Switch systems, will be the required game for participation.
Tournament schedule and format
The Golden Egg Feast 2026 finals will take place on November 7, 2026, beginning at 10:00 AM PT and concluding at approximately 12:00 PM PT.
Registration opens at 9:00 AM PT on October 26, 2026, and closes at 9:30 AM PT on November 7, 2026.
Players must register via Tournament Manager in the SplatNet 3 application during that window.
Nintendo will reveal the stage, supplied weapons, and the King Salmonid within one week of the event via Tournament Manager.
Nintendo has outlined the competition structure as a 120-minute finals-only Salmon Run event.
Scoring is based on top in-game scores using three metrics: highest overall score, most Golden Eggs collected across four shifts, and highest scale points in a single shift.
Competitors may register in one of four division types: Solo, Pair, Trio, or Team.
