Right now the 2026 MLB regular season has not started yet, so there is no official “most home runs this season” leader to point to.

Quick Scoop: Where things stand

Because we’re still in mid‑February 2026, teams are only just reporting for Spring Training, and no regular‑season home runs have been hit.

What is happening instead:

  • Sportsbooks and analysts are posting odds and projections for who might lead MLB in home runs in 2026, rather than reporting a real‑time leader.
  • Names that keep coming up in preseason HR‑leader odds and projections include Aaron Judge , as well as other established power bats like Kyle Schwarber and similar sluggers who are projected for 40+ homers.

In other words: we’re still in the “predictions and hype” phase, not the “leaderboard is real” phase.

Once Opening Day hits and games are underway, you’ll be able to check the current home run leader any time on the official MLB stats leaderboard page under “Home Runs” for the 2026 season.

TL;DR: No one has “the most home runs this season” yet because the 2026 MLB regular season hasn’t begun; all we have right now are projections and betting favorites like Aaron Judge for the upcoming year.
