The start of Inkopolis News in Splatoon 2.
“ Callie: Hold on to your tentacles...
Marie: It's Inkopolis News time! 		”

Inkopolis News is a live television event that provides information regarding upcoming Splatfests, updates, the current Regular Battle, Ranked Battle, and League Battle stages, and Salmon Run status.

In Splatoon, Inkopolis News is hosted by the Squid Sisters, Callie and Marie. Each time players start Splatoon and every four hours thereafter, Inkopolis News is shown.

In Splatoon 2, Inkopolis News is hosted by Off the Hook, Pearl and Marina. Each time players start Splatoon 2, Inkopolis News is shown. Unlike the first game, Inkopolis News is only shown again in a single play session if there are new Salmon Run, DLC, or Splatfest announcements.

If a player is occupied when Inkopolis News should be shown, it appears once they finish that activity. For example, if someone is playing Turf War when the news is scheduled to appear, it is shown once they complete their current match.

In Splatoon 3, Inkopolis News is replaced by the similar news broadcast Anarchy Splatcast.
