New Country Albums Coming in 2026 [FULL LIST]

Country women are dominating this list of country albums scheduled for 2026. Ella Langley and Megan Moroney both have projects on the calendar.

These albums follow strong re-issues from Trisha Yearwood and Meghan Patrick. Lauren Alaina and Shania Twain are two more ladies with new music scheduled for 2026.

That's not to say 2026 will find the men of country music sitting on the sidelines. Luke Combs, Aaron Watson and Jason Aldean each have albums of new material ready to go. A full list of album releases (see below) also includes Parker McCollum and Steep Canyon Rangers.
