One week, sixteen bears and thousands of votes later, Fat Bear Week 2026 is down to its final four, and the champion will be crowned tomorrow. It's been a wild week as voting turnout was so heavy it overwhelmed the site and reigning champion “Chunk” was bounced in the very first round. Brackets have been busted, the salmon have been eaten and the bears have bulked up, now all that's left is to find out who takes the crown.
