Splatoon 3’s SpringFest 2026 Results: Team Bear Cubs Reigns Supreme on Nintendo Switch
Splatoon 3 continues to be a flagship multiplayer experience for the Nintendo Switch, invigorating its community with frequent Splatfest events.
This weekend, the vibrant ink-based shooter saw the return of its beloved SpringFest, capturing the attention of players worldwide with spirited competition across the Splatlands.
Developed by Nintendo, Splatoon 3’s Splatfests have become hallmark events, driving engagement and showcasing creative themes for the franchise’s ever-growing audience.
The SpringFest event, held from April 11 to April 13, 2026, brought back a familiar and fan-favorite theme to the Nintendo Switch.
Teams—Baby Chicks, Li'l Bunnies, and Bear Cubs—competed vigorously, echoing the prompt of "It’s Spring!
A time for fuzzy fluffiness!" This thematic approach not only reinforces the game’s charm but also continues a tradition that dates back to SpringFest 2024.
This year, Team Bear Cubs emerged victorious once again, delivering a commanding performance.
According to Nintendo, Team Bear Cubs clinched the top spot with an impressive 580 points, leaving Team Baby Chicks in second place at 255 points, and Team Li’l Bunnies rounding out third with 35 points.
The results mark a consecutive win for Bear Cubs, having also taken the crown in the 2024 SpringFest under the same theme.
Players who participated are encouraged to visit the in-game plaza to claim their Super Sea Snails, a treasured reward distributed after each Splatfest to help power up their gear.
With Splatfests scheduled on a seasonal basis, fans can look forward to more competitive action when the next event returns for the summer, giving players ample time to train and strategize their approach.
The precise SpringFest schedule for various regions began at 1am BST on April 11 in the UK, with corresponding local times for North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific players.
Such regional synchrony underscores Nintendo’s dedication to fostering a global, inclusive multiplayer community on the Nintendo Switch platform.
