Clash Of The Cans, proudly presented by Dynamine, is back for 2026, returning on June 22nd for its eighth annual search to find the fan-favorite energy drink in the industry. What started as a simple community-driven contest has become one of our signature events, bringing together brands and consumers from across the category. As always, every vote counts, and once again, there can only be one winner when the competition comes to an end.
The format of the contest will remain focused on putting the decision in the hands of energy drink fans, with competitors battling through multiple rounds. The contest begins with a massive opening stage featuring all eligible entries before narrowing the field to 24 and moving into the traditional knockout rounds. From there, the surviving beverages advance through head-to-head matchups until only two remain for the championship showdown.
As has become tradition, the winner of the Dynamine-powered Clash Of The Cans will take home our signature trophy, a fully iron-cast replica of a 16oz energy drink can weighing a hefty 5lbs. It has become one of our signature prizes, with only seven ever handed out, the majority of them going to the reigning champion, RYSE. We’ll have the complete entry list next week, then kick off the contest, again, on Monday, June 22nd, which is 12 days away.
