Elections to the United States Senate will be held on November 3, 2020 with the 33 Class 2 seats of the Senate being contested in regular elections. The winners will serve six-year terms from January 3, 2021, until January 3, 2027. Additionally, special elections may be held to fill vacancies.
The 2020 presidential election, elections to the House of Representatives, elections for governors in states and territories, and many state and local elections will also be held on this date.
In 2014, the last regular election of the Class 2 Senate seats, Republicans won a net gain of nine seats, which will be targeted by the Democrats in 2020 to try to win back.
The composition of the Senate going into the 2020 election will depend on the results of the 2018 elections. In the 2020 election, all 33 Class II Senate seats are up for election; there are currently 22 Republicans and 11 Democrats expected to be up for election, although the exact numbers could change if vacancies or party switches occur. Special elections may also be held in 2020 if vacancies arise in Class I or Class III Senate seats.
