An icon used in notice templates. NOTE: Tournaments that still have their registration open may not be included on this list. The exception to this rule is Super Smash Con 2016 (for Smash 64), which was on this list before this rule was put into place.

This is a list of largest Smash tournaments based on the number of confirmed entrants for each event. It includes the top 15 largest Smash tournaments over any game in the series, as well as listings for each individual game separately (including the Project M mod).

To qualify for one of these lists, a tournament must be a national tournament, which requires a minimum of 100 entrants.

The record for largest Smash tournament is currently held by EVO 2016, with 2,662 entrants for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 2,372 entrants for Super Smash Bros. Melee.[1]
