New York Beatbox Championships 2026

The third New York Beatbox Championship, presented by Long Island Beatbox and Ghost over two days in Manhattan. On May 8, a welcome party at One and One opened the weekend with a workshop by RIVER', an open jam with fantasy battles and a rap-to-beatbox hip hop cypher. On May 9 at OS NYC, the main event combined a top 16 solo beatbox battle with a Super Smash Bros Ultimate tournament hosted by The Bowsery. The online wildcard winners and the best of an open elimination round on the day filled the bracket, judged by RIVER', Osis, JayLip, Match and Plant. Eulacio won the title against waferboi in the final. Guest showcases came from JAHNMANA and the NYU Cleftomaniacs a cappella group, with trophies and merch hand-crafted by Micky Made.
