The 2026 United States Senate election in Alabama will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of Alabama. Republican congressman Barry Moore and Democratic attorney Everett Wess are the nominees for their respective parties. Republican incumbent Tommy Tuberville is not seeking a second term in order to run for governor.[1]

Primary elections were held on May 19, which were followed by runoffs for both parties on June 16 after no candidates received a majority.[2] Moore won the Republican runoff with 55.8% of the vote over businessman Jared Hudson and Wess won the Democratic runoff with 54.6% of the vote over businessman Dakarai Larriett.
