The 2026 United States Senate election in Georgia will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of Georgia. A runoff election is to be held on December 1, 2026, if no candidate gets a majority. Primaries will be held on May 19, 2026, with runoff elections on June 16, 2026 if no candidate gets a majority in the primary. Incumbent Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff, first elected in 2021, is running for re-election to a second term in office. Republicans running in the primary include U.S. Representatives Buddy Carter and Mike Collins. Former football coach Derek Dooley is also in the Republican primary race with support from Governor Brian Kemp. Kemp was seen as a major contender, but announced in May 2025 that he would not run.

Along with Michigan, this will be one of two Democratic-held Senate seats up for election in 2026 in a state that Donald Trump won in the 2024 presidential election, winning 51% of the vote against Kamala Harris's 49%.
