The Midwest is a Smash region located in the United States. It is by far the largest Smash region in the United States in terms of land area, encompassing fourteen different states. Due to this, the region has sometimes been split into four additional regions: Great Lakes East, which includes Kentucky, Ohio, and west Pennsylvania, primarily the Pittsburgh metropolitan area, and sometimes includes West Virginia; Great Lakes West, which includes Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin; Heartland North, which includes Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota; and Heartland South, which includes Iowa, Nebraska, and northern Kansas and Missouri, primarily the Greater St. Louis and Kansas City metropolitan areas. Tournament activity in the Midwest is the most active in the Chicago and Detroit metropolitan areas, although many other metropolitan areas also have notable scenes, such as Cleveland, Madison, Pittsburgh, and Kansas City.

Historically, the Midwest was a strong yet relatively secluded region. During Melee's Golden Age, the Midwest had several notable players including Darkrain, Drephen, and Vidjogamer and several tournament series such as the long-running Show Me Your Moves series; however, the scene's overall size was less than the sizes of the other major American Smash scenes at that time. This changed around the early 2010s with the rise of The Big House series in Michigan, which eventually became Melee's premier end-of-the-year supermajor. In addition, many other large tournament series began as the decade progressed, including Frostbite in Michigan, Midwest Mayhem in Illinois, and Smash 'N' Splash in Illinois and Wisconsin, and many FGC events such as Combo Breaker and Frosty Faustings in Illinois began seeing greater entrants count for their Smash events, all the while many more Midwest players began making their mark on competitive play, such as Ginger, KJH, Lunchables, Ned, and Zinoto. At its peak, the Midwest's tournament activity rivaled some of the biggest regions in the United States.

Following the pandemic, however, the Midwest's impact on the competitive scene diminished, in part due to the conclusion or hiatus of many big tournament series such as Frostbite, The Big House, and Smash 'N' Splash, while newer tournament series such as Riptide were unable to properly fill that void. As such, the Midwest scene in Ultimate infamously failed to hold a single major between The Big House 10 in October 2022 and Riptide 2024 in September 2024, a stark contrast to the game's first year where the Midwest held three supermajors. Nevertheless, the Midwest retained a slew of strong talent that have made strong impacts in their respective titles, including ApolloKage, Onin, and Ossify.
