The Box is an online tournament series held by Team Liquid on Hungrybox's Twitch channel. The series originally started with The Box and consisted of a weekly (Juice Box) and a monthly at the end of each month (Lunch Box), held on Wednesdays, as well as a few special tournaments. In February 2022, the series was sponsored by Coinbase, renaming the weekly tournaments to The Coinbox and ceasing the monthlys. Most tournaments in the series are region-locked to North American countries. Juice Box/Coinbox events are open to any competitor within the region-lock, while Lunch Box tournaments, aside from a few special iterations, are limited to Hungrybox's Twitch subscribers.

While The Box started as an Ultimate series, Melee began being run in February 2023, switching games every week, with Ultimate on Wednesdays and Melee on Tuesdays. However, on November 8th, 2023, following the announcement of the Nintendo Community Tournament Guidelines, Hungrybox announced that Team Liquid would not be seeking a license for Melee Coinboxes due to the usage of Slippi, and that the final Melee Coinbox would be Coinbox #84

Following Coinbox #51, Steve was indefinitely banned from Ultimate Coinboxes on March 2nd, 2023 due to the discovery of Phantom MLG and its associated time concerns from reviewing footage if only the technique was banned.
