Symmetry breaking provides a new material design strategy for nonfullerene small molecule acceptors (SMAs). The past 10 years have witnessed significant advances in asymmetric nonfullerene SMAs in organic solar cells (OSCs) with power conversion efficiency (PCE) increasing from ≈1% to ≈14%. In this review, the progress of asymmetric nonfullerene SMAs, including early reports of asymmetric nonfullerene SMAs, asymmetric PDI‐based nonfullerene SMAs, and asymmetric acceptor–donor–acceptor (A–D–A)‐type nonfullerene SMAs, is summarized. The structure–property relationships and the perspectives for future development of asymmetric nonfullerene SMAs are also discussed.
