The 2026 Tennessee Senate election is scheduled to be held on November 3, 2026. Seventeen members of the thirty-three member Tennessee Senate, the upper chamber of Tennessee's state legislature, will be elected. Partisan primaries will take place on August 6, 2026. Tennessee has open primaries, meaning that any voter can choose to vote on either a Republican or Democratic ballot during primary elections.

The election will be held alongside elections for numerous other federal, state, and local offices in Tennessee as part of the 2026 United States elections.
