Latest News About Field Day

Here’s what I can share about the latest Field Day news right now.

• ARRL Field Day (amateur radio event in the U.S.)

  • The 2026 ARRL Field Day is scheduled for June 27–28, 2026. This annual event runs from 1800 UTC Saturday to 2059 UTC Sunday, with entries due by July 28, 2026. This is the latest official framework and schedule for Field Day as organized by ARRL. If you’re planning participation, you’ll want to review the full Field Day packet and rules on ARRL’s site and check the Field Day Locator for nearby stations. The ARRL page also highlights social and logistical resources such as a Field Day Facebook group and entry submission portals.[1]

• Global Field Day coverage and context

  • Field Day is also referenced in various festival and event listings globally, but the most authoritative, ongoing updates as of now are centered on the ARRL Field Day in late June in the U.S. For city-level or local Field Day activities, local ARRL sections or club pages typically publish dates and participating stations as the event approaches.[2][1]

• Other Field Day references

  • Several non-ARRL sources mention Field Day in different contexts (music festivals, regional events, or brand campaigns). However, those are not the primary Field Day you’re likely asking about if you mean the amateur radio event. For the latest about those other Field Day brands or festivals, you’d want to specify which Field Day you mean (location, domain, or organization) since there are multiple usages of the term in entertainment and community spaces.[4][6]
