Method: 113 confirmed general-election candidates across all 35 U.S. Senate contests of November 3, 2026 (33 Class 2 seats plus Florida and Ohio specials), as of September 17, 2026. Compiled by web research over 976 unique search results spanning 22 source hosts (national overviews, Ballotpedia, The Green Papers, state and news references); no single source backs more than half the rows. 142 raw candidate-affiliation spellings were deduplicated to 113 people; fictional, mock-election, withdrawn, replaced and primary-loser rows were removed. Write-in rows are certified write-in candidacies, not FEC filings. Rosters can still change through withdrawals, substitutions and litigation.
