The 2026 United States Senate election in Texas will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of Texas. Incumbent four-term Republican Senator John Cornyn, who was re-elected in 2020 is running for re-election to a fifth term in office. Cornyn is facing a primary challenge from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Republicans have won every U.S. Senate election in Texas since 1990. An incumbent Senator running has not lost a primary since 2017 in Alabama, and in Texas since 1970. The last U.S. Senate election that saw an incumbent Senator lose a primary and not lose the seat to the opposing party was 2010 in Utah.
