A Splatoon 3 Splatfest is a magical experience for any fan of the fresh Nintendo series, bringing multiplayer shooting to the Switch with bags of style. Each time a Splatfest takes place, players choose one of three teams and battle it out for victory. The teams follow a theme, such as 'which ice cream flavor is your favorite', 'what item would you bring to a desert island', or 'which member of Deep Cut is the best'?
So, head below to see when the next Splatfest is, as well as previous results. We've got a bunch of guides for more help, like Splatoon 3 weapons, Splatoon 3 hairstyles, and Splatoon 3 codes. Or, check out our Splatoon 3 review to see if it's worth picking up.

Previous Splatoon 3 Splatfests
Below you can see the theme and results of all previous Splatoon 3 Splatfests.
Morning vs. Afternoon vs. Night
Another win for Big Man came from April's Splatfest, which asked "When do you get things done?" – team Night won by a landslide.
Dark chocolate vs. Milk chocolate vs. White chocolate
The people have spoken, and apparently everyone's favorite is white chocolate! We're more milk fans, ourselves. This scores another win for Big Man.
Money vs. Experiences vs. Presents
The first fest of 2025 focuses on the holiday season, and what gifts we'd prefer to get. Big Man's team, Presents, won by a landslide.
Wizard vs. Knight vs. Ninja
To celebrate the Halloween season in 2024, wizards, knights, and ninjas took to the field. Team Ninja came out on top marking another win for Big Man.
Past vs. Present vs. Future
In a true battle for the ages, teams consisting of each idol team duked it out – Team Past was the victor. Congrats to Callie and Marie!
Bread vs. Rice vs. Pasta
A carby battle was fought but ultimately, rice came out on top with 460p. Pasta came second, and somehow, bread was third – who doesn't love bread?
Palace vs. Theme Park vs. Beach
Once again, Big Man swept the board with a win for Beach team – after all, you would choose a beach as an answer to "which would you reserve for a day", wouldn't you?
Same Ol' vs. Bucket List vs. Save The Day
Splatoon asked a very serious question with this one – asking what you would do at the end of the world. Team Bucket List won.
Bunnies vs. Bear Cubs vs. Chicks
Surprisingly, bear cubs won this Splatfest by a landslide, earning Big Man another victory.
Drums vs. Guitar vs. Keyboard
The winner, keyboard, played the other teams and plucked the strings of victory, giving Big Man yet another win.
Friday vs. Saturday vs. Sunday
Friday came out on top here, unsurprisingly, with Frye being leader of the winning team.
Friends vs. family vs. solo
Solo absolutely dominated this Splatfest, getting another win for Big Man.
Handshake vs. fistbump vs. hug
Team handshake swept the board with this one, leaving hug in the dust, and fistbump in a middling position.
Zombie vs. skeleton vs. ghost
In the name of Splatoween, we had a fittingly spooky-themed Splatfest where teams fought for their preferred undead creature. Team Ghost, in the end, swept the board – as you'd expect from Big Man's team.
Big Man vs. Shiver vs. Frye
To celebrate Splatoon 3's first anniversary, the three teams had no extra theme, just the three iconic idols in Deep Cut. Big Man is the winner in our hearts, even if Shiver swept the board in terms of points.
Money vs. fame vs. love
In a slightly more serious Splatoon 3 Splatfest, money ran away as the clear winner. Splatoon fans clearly subscribe to the old adage, "Money, if it does not bring you happiness, will at least help you be miserable in comfort."
Strawberry vs. mint chip vs. vanilla
Vanilla was the runaway winner in this ice-cream-themed Splatfest, with mint chip picking up a handful of points too. Poor old strawberry was absolutely trounced.
Nessie vs. aliens vs. bigfoot
This most recent Splatfest was a monster blowout. Nessie took home the prize, taking down the extra-terrestrials and burly bigfoot.
Dark chocolate vs. white chocolate vs. milk chocolate
The recent Splatfest saw the different chocolate variations take each other on. White chocolate won, though I suspect this is mostly down to most people choosing the team for the unique ink colour.
Spicy vs. sweet vs. sour
This gastronomical Splatfest took place in January 2023, kicking off the new year with a fierce food fight. We saw sweet take first place, with spicy next and sour just behind.
Grass vs. fire vs. water
This Pokémon-themed Splatfest in November 2022 featured a battle between different Pokémon types. The winner worldwide was water, winning in every possible category. By far the biggest winner.
Gear vs. grub vs. fun
This September 2022 Splatfest asked you what you'd most like on a desert island – helpful equipment, something to eat, or some entertainment. Gear received around 60% of the votes, which is huge.
Rock vs. paper vs. scissors
The classic three-way hand game rock-paper-scissors was the theme for August 2022's Splatfest. Rock won, for some reason. I don't really know how anyone chose their allegiances in this Splatfest.
