The 2026 New York Yankees season is the 124th season for the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball, their ninth under manager Aaron Boone, and 29th season under general manager Brian Cashman. Going into the last game of the regular season, they hoped to tie their 94–68 record from 2024 and 2025. However, due to the September 2026 nor'easter, their game vs. the Baltimore Orioles was rained out after a significant delay, leading to both teams only playing 161 games.

On September 14, 2026, the Yankees clinched a playoff berth for the third consecutive season following an 8–3 win over the Minnesota Twins coupled with the Toronto Blue Jays’ 6–5 loss to the Detroit Tigers that same day. They swept their division rival Boston Red Sox in the American League Wild Card Series in two games and advanced to the American League Division Series, where they will face the Tampa Bay Rays.
