The 2026 United States Senate elections will be held on November 3, 2026, with 33 of the 100 seats in the Senate being contested in regular elections, the winners of which will serve six-year terms in the United States Congress from January 3, 2027, to January 3, 2033. Senators are divided into three groups, or classes, whose terms are staggered so that a different class is elected every two years. Class 2 senators were last elected in 2020, and will be up for election again in 2026.

Composition

The composition of the Senate going into the 2026 election will depend on the results of the 2022 and 2024 elections. Among the senators up for election in 2026, there will be 13 Democrats and 20 Republicans.

There may be some additional changes if senators die or resign. If senators in other classes die or resign between 2022 and 2026, there may be additional special elections before or during the 2026 elections. The dates between which the death or resignation of a senator would lead a special election during this time period vary from state to state.

Change in composition

Each block represents one of the one hundred seats in the U.S. Senate. "D#" is a Democratic senator, "I#" is an Independent senator, and "R#" is a Republican senator. They are arranged so that the parties are separated and a majority is clear by crossing the middle.

Before the elections

Each block indicates an incumbent senator's actions going into the election.
