Watch the Cosplay Crown Championship Regional Qualifier and US Finals from Chicago's C2E2!
The latest chapter of the global Cosplay Crown Championship was at C2E2 2026 - see all the winners and their incredible cosplay right here!
If you were lucky enough to walk the halls of Chicago's C2E2 2026, there's absolutely no chance you didn't glimpse some absolutely mind-blowing cosplay. Even so, attendees to this year's premier pop culture event of the Midwest had an opportunity to stare at nothing but incredible cosplay, non-stop, during the Cosplay Crown Championship Regional Qualifier and US Finals, where one lucky winner was granted the high honor of representing the US at the organization's global finals this year in London.
Popverse was, of course, on hand to catch all the talented artists strutting their stuff on the McCormick Place main stage, and since we knew you'd be interested too, we went ahead and recorded it. Whether you couldn't make it to the show this year or just want to relive the dazzling display from your own home, you can watch the championship now, below.
