The 2026 Utah Senate election is scheduled to be held on November 3, 2026, as part of the 2026 United States elections. Fifteen of the twenty-nine seats in the Utah Senate are up for election to the 67th Legislature. The elections will coincide with elections for other offices in Utah, including for U.S. House and the state house. Newly-elected senators will take office on January 1, 2027.
The Republicans currently hold a supermajority in the chamber, controlling twenty-two of the twenty-nine seats. The Democrats hold the second-most seats with six, and the Utah Forward has held one seat since Senator Daniel Thatcher from Salt Lake County switched from the Republican Party during the 2025 legislative session. Thatcher is the first third-party state senator in Utah since Republican senator Mark B. Madsen switched to the Libertarian Party in 2016.
Districts 1, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, and 28 will be up for election in 2026.
