Polls close Tuesday across the nation’s top battleground states, and control of both chambers of Congress is on the line. Fox News Channel and Fox News Digital will run live coverage of results, race calls and analysis as they come in from Texas, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Iowa, Nevada, Maine and Florida, along with other contested House, Senate and governor’s races nationwide.
Fox News Channel’s election-night special, “FOX News Democracy 26,” begins at 6 p.m. ET, co-anchored by Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. Dana Perino, Brit Hume, Harold Ford Jr., Bill Hemmer, Sandra Smith, Laura Ingraham, Jesse Watters and Sean Hannity are among the personalities contributing through the night.
The Fox News Decision Desk will issue race calls for House, Senate and gubernatorial contests and project which party takes control of each chamber. FOX Business will simulcast the same coverage from 6 p.m. Tuesday to 6 a.m. Wednesday, with Trace Gallagher leading the overnight shift and a special early edition of “FOX & Friends First” starting at 4 a.m.
Viewers without cable can stream through Fox News Go with a participating provider or via FOX One. Fox News Digital will run a live election-night blog tracking breaking developments, Fox News Power Rankings and Fox News Voter Analysis as polls close state by state.
A new “Midterms 2026” tab on the Fox News app will offer interactive county-level maps and an AI chatbot, “Election HQ,” built on Fox News reporting to answer questions about races and results. Signed-in users can join “The Room,” a live-commentary discussion feature, and FOX One will debut a command center and data platform built for this election cycle.
Radio listeners can tune in to Fox News Radio or the app’s “Listen” feature starting at 7 p.m. ET, when Jared Halpern and Jessica Rosenthal open live radio coverage. A separate web stream, “Ruthless Live! Midterm Election Show,” runs 8 to 11 p.m. ET on Fox News Digital and FOX Nation.
More than 20 Fox News Channel and FOX Business correspondents will report from battleground states, with chief congressional correspondent Chad Pergram providing updates from Capitol Hill. Coverage is expected to continue past midnight, with some races potentially left undecided into Wednesday.
