Start Planning for ARRL Field Day 2026

It’s not too early to gear up and get ready for ARRL Field Day! Field Day 2026 takes place 27 and 28th June 2026, and will bring together more than 30,000 amateur radio operators for one of the most popular on-the-air events in the US and Canada.

This year’s Field Day theme is “Amateur Radio: A National Resource.” Combined with the ARRL Year of the Club, it provides the perfect opportunity for radio clubs to set up stations in public places to demonstrate ham radio's science, skill, and service to our communities and our nation.    

All of the information you need to get started can be found on the Field Day web page, including how to join the ARRL Field Day Facebook Group, where you can share your plans, tips, and tricks for a successful Field Day.
