This is a list of largest Smash tournaments based on the number of confirmed entrants for each event.

Online tournaments are not included.

To qualify for one of these lists, a tournament must have 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]
