[Photo Story] 46 Of Our Favorite Photos From THON 2026

For THON 2026, love truly led forward with continuous dancing, joy, and memories that will last a lifetime. This year, THON raised $18,841,726.53, breaking its fundraising record for the fifth consecutive year.

From the dancers’ first steps onto the floor to the emotion of the final total reveal, and every line dance, hug, and tear in between, our photographers were there to capture it all. Here are 46 of our favorite shots from THON 2026.

When the clock hit 6 p.m., the dancers started standing for the next 46 hours!

Dancer Relations captains to the stage! The 2026 Line Dance was finally introduced.

The National Act, Fitz & The Tantrums, came a little while later and had the Bryce Jordan Center filled with energy.

Performances throughout Friday and Saturday really kept the BJC alive.

Dancers kept energized and in good spirits.

And the kids really kept the joy all weekend long, especially with the kids’ talent show.

Following the talent show came the Pep Rally, with men’s soccer taking home the trophy this year!

There were a variety of things that kept everyone going in the final stretch to Sunday.

Final Four finally arrived and was kicked off by reminiscing on past line dances.

Family Hour was next up, which got everyone emotional.

Go Go Gadjet gave one last energy-filled performance before the dancers sat.

Finally, after 46 hours, the dancers sat!

And to wrap it all up, THON 2026’s total was revealed, breaking its fundraising record from last year by over 1 million!

Until next year, THON!
