Ticket sales are now open for the 2026 National Championship Air Races at its new home at Roswell Air Center (KROW) in Roswell, New Mexico.
Slated for Sept. 16-20, this will be the second year for the races in Roswell.
“2025 was our first year hosting the National Championship Air Races in Roswell and we were overwhelmed by the support we received from the community and from the state of New Mexico,” said Tony Logoteta, president and COO of the Reno Air Racing Association, which produces the races. “This year will be a whole new experience for attendees with the participation of all seven classes, civilian and military performers, and the debut of the USAF Thunderbirds in Roswell. We’re thrilled to reunite our September family for this momentous 61st year of our event.”
All seven classes return to race in 2026 after the Sport and Unlimited classes sat out the inaugural races in 2025. The event will also feature static and military displays, the USAF Thunderbirds performing for the first time in Roswell, and the sixth year of competition for STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) Drag, organizers noted.
A variety of ticket packages are available online, from single day tickets to weeklong and VIP packages.
