Midterms in 2026 can mean either school exams or the U.S. midterm elections , so the dates depend on which you’re asking about.

In the United States, “midterms 2026” usually refers to the 2026 midterm elections , which are scheduled for Tuesday, November 3, 2026.

For midterm exams in 2026 , the exact dates vary by school, country, and academic calendar , but they typically fall:

  • First‑semester midterms : late October to mid‑November 2026 (for schools on a fall/first‑semester schedule).
  • Second‑semester midterms : late March to mid‑April 2026 (for spring/second‑semester terms).
