The 2026 United States House of Representatives elections in Tennessee will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect the nine U.S. representatives from the State of Tennessee, one from all nine of the state's congressional districts. The elections will coincide with other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate, and various state and local elections.
Redistricting Background On May 6, 2026, Tennessee Republicans released a newly proposed congressional map that would draw out Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) of Memphis, shifting the state's delegation from an 8–1 Republican majority to a 9–0 Republican majority. The map passed both chambers and was signed into law by governor Bill Lee on May 7. The enactment of the new map extended the congressional filing deadline to May 15. The primary elections will take place on August 6, 2026.
