United States Senate elections, 2026 (EasternSky)

The United States Senate elections of 2020 were held on November 3, 2026, along with the presidential election and other congressional and gubernatorial elections.
== Overview ==
The Republicans have to defend 12 seats versus the Democrats' 21 seats. The Democrats have to defend many first time Senators similar to the 1986 Senate Elections, with many thinking that the Republicans may be able to unseat some of the freshmen. The Democrats will also have to defend 4 open seats (in Illinois, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Virginia) while Republicans only have to defend a single open seat (in Idaho).
== Senate Seats ==
=== Special Elections ===
The Special Elections will be decided based on the winner of the 2024 Presidential Election. If Chris Van Hollen wins, then there will be a special election in Maryland. If James Lankford wins, then there will be Special Elections in Kansas and Oklahoma.
