Fan Army Face-Off 2026 Enters the Finals: Vote Now to Determine the Winner
This is not a drill: the Billboard Fan Army Face-Off for 2026 is just days away from crowning a victorious fan army.
On Monday (Aug.
17), we moved into the finals with only two artists’ fan armies remaining.
Each year, fan armies for 64 different artists compete to answer the question: which artist has the strongest fan army? After millions of votes cast throughout the quarterfinals (which came to a close at noon ET on Aug.
12), Benson Boone, Bruno Mars, Harry Styles and SB19 moved forward to the semifinals (the penultimate round).
Now, as we enter the finals on Monday (Aug.
17) at noon ET, only Harry Styles and SB19 remain.
Finals continue until Friday, Aug.
21 at noon ET, at which point the Fan Army Face-Off will declare a victor — either the Harries or A’TIN — for 2026.
In 2025 , after millions of votes, A’TIN secured victory for SB19, capturing 60% of the vote in the finals round.
