USRowing Announces 2026 Regatta Schedule

USRowing is excited to announce the full schedule for the 2026 regatta season, featuring a mix of returning favorites, new opportunities, and expanded championships designed to grow the sport nationwide.

USRowing is thrilled to return to Ford Lake Park in Ypsilanti–Ann Arbor, Michigan, for the second year of the USRowing RowFest National Championships following a record-setting debut in 2025. The 2026 USRowing Youth National Championships will once again take place at Nathan Benderson Park in Sarasota, Florida, one of the premier rowing venues in the world. Additionally, USRowing will continue its strong partnerships with the Stars & Stripes Central Masters Championships and the Diamond State Northeast/Mid-Atlantic Masters Championships, supporting the growth of rowing across key regions.

USRowing will announce the location of the 2026 USRowing Northeast Youth Championships at a later date, pending updates on major bridge construction at the Lowell Regatta venue. Dates remain as scheduled. Similarly, the location of the 2026 USRowing Southeast Masters Championships will be announced soon, as we work closely with the Southeast community to ensure the best possible championship experience.

Please note that USRowing will not host a 2026 Southwest Masters Championships but will once again invite Southwest rowers to join the Northwest Masters Championships in Lowell, Oregon.

Finally, 2026 will see an expansion of USRowing’s Beach Sprint Championship opportunities, with more events across the country, details coming soon.
