A seat marked Open is one where neither candidate currently holds it. Ratings are a judgement about how safe a seat looks, not a probability, so no percentage is attached to them.
Why the map is lopsided
The Republicans hold 22 of the 35 seats being contested against the Democrats’ 13, so almost every competitive race is one they are defending rather than attacking. Holding all 22 keeps the Senate at 53–47; losing three of them takes it to 50–50, where the Vice President still decides.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many seats are needed to control the Senate?
51 of 100. A 50-50 Senate is controlled by the party of the Vice President, who breaks tied votes.
How many Senate seats are up in 2026?
35: the 33 regular Class 2 seats last contested in 2020, plus special elections in Florida and Ohio for the seats Marco Rubio and JD Vance left to join the administration. Republicans are defending 22 of the 35 and the Democrats 13, which is why the Republicans have more ways to lose ground than to gain it.
Where can I find official nominee lists for 2026 Senate races?
The tracker below lists all 35 seats, current officeholders, primary dates and official state election offices. Follow each state link for certified nominees, results and candidate changes.
What do the ratings mean, and who makes them?
They describe how safe a seat looks, from Safe through Likely, Lean and Tilt to Toss-Up, and they follow Sabato’s Crystal Ball rather than being produced here. They are a judgement about a race, not a probability, which is why no percentage is attached to them.
Why is there no market percentage for each race?
Because none exists to quote. Polymarket runs a market on which party controls the Senate, shown above, but no markets on the individual 2026 Senate races. Rather than fill the gap with a number of our own, the page leaves it out.
Can I build my own Senate map?
Yes. Open the full interactive map, assign each seat, and use the Share button for a link or embed code.

The map is a scenario builder, not a forecast. It covers 33 regular Class II Senate seats and the Florida and Ohio special elections. The race table is a selected group of contests; ratings are Sabato’s Crystal Ball assessments, not probabilities. Polymarket prices Senate control, but does not offer a market for each state race.
