The 2026 Atlanta Braves season is the 156th season of the Atlanta Braves franchise, the 61st in Atlanta, and the Braves' 10th season at Truist Park. The Braves are managed by Walt Weiss, in his first season as the team's manager. Following the conclusion of the previous season, longtime manager Brian Snitker announced his retirement and moved into an advisory role with the organization.
With a win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on August 25, the Braves surpassed their disappointing 76–86 record from the previous season. On September 18, the Braves clinched a postseason berth with a win over the Houston Astros, returning to the playoffs for the first time since 2024 after a one-season absence. On September 20, Atlanta clinched the National League East division title for the first time since 2023 with a 4–2 win against the Astros. They defeated their division rival Philadelphia Phillies in the National League Wild Card Series in three games and advanced to the National League Division Series, where they are playing the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Jurickson Profar PED bans On March 3, 2026, Jurickson Profar received a 162-game suspension from Major League Baseball after testing positive for exogenous testosterone. The suspension marked his second violation of MLB's performance-enhancing drug policy within a year; in March 2025, he received an 80-game suspension after testing positive for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). As a result of the 162-game suspension, Profar forfeited his $15 million salary for the 2026 season, along with being ineligible for the postseason and the 2026 World Baseball Classic, for which he had been expected to play for the Netherlands.
