    The trade‐off between the open‐circuit voltage (Voc) and short‐circuit current density (Jsc) has become the core of current organic photovoltaic research, and realizing the minimum energy offsets that can guarantee effective charge generation is strongly desired for high‐performance systems. Herein, a high‐performance ternary solar cell with a power conversion efficiency of over 18% using a large‐bandgap polymer donor, PM6, and a small‐bandgap alloy acceptor containing two structurally similar nonfullerene acceptors (Y6 and AQx‐3) is reported. This system can take full advantage of solar irradiation and forms a favorable morphology. By varying the ratio of the two acceptors, delicate regulation of the energy levels of the alloy acceptor is achieved, thereby affecting the charge dynamics in the devices. The optimal ternary device exhibits more efficient hole transfer and exciton separation than the PM6:AQx‐3‐based system and reduced energy loss compared with the PM6:Y6‐based system, contributing to better performance. Such a “two‐in‐one” alloy strategy, which synergizes two highly compatible acceptors, provides a promising path for boosting the photovoltaic performance of devices. A “two‐in‐one” strategy is applied to form an acceptor alloy for fine‐tuning the donor/acceptor energy alignment and blend morphology. Enhanced hole transfer and suppressed charge recombination in the alloy acceptor consisting of AQx‐3 and Y6 enable a power conversion efficiency of over 18%, which is the highest documented for ternary organic solar cells utilizing two nonfullerene acceptors.
