Should you use multiple backgrounds in 2026?
If you can use a simple background color, make sure to declare background-color: <color> on the element before declaring your multiple backgrounds. Alternatively, you can also set an image as a background with background-image and override it with a second background declaration. We strongly recommend you don't polyfill this.
Polyfills and fallbacks
Progressive enhancement works well here: browsers without support degrade gracefully, so a dedicated polyfill is usually unnecessary.
