Brawlfest 2026 was a professional wrestling event promoted by Empire State Wrestling (ESW), held on May 8, 2026 at Buffalo RiverWorks in Buffalo, NY. It was the fourteenth event under the Brawlfest name.

A man on the run from his ex-lover, who has sworn to kill him, takes refuge in a rural bar, where he finds an unlikely ally in the local bartender. As the man opens up to the bartender over many rounds, the bartender - who is battling demons of his own - begins to wonder if the man is merely a victim of circumstance... or if he's hiding a much darker secret.
