The road to the 2026 season begins with two defining moments on the international stage. 

On Opening Day, a new chapter will be written as we unveil the 2026 debut team on June 6, 2026. This first-ever appearance marks the official international debut of a new contender, Mongolia, from the origins of polo itself, expanding Newport Polo’s global reach and introducing fresh energy to the summer lineup. With new colors, new rivalries, and a new story to tell, this debut signals the future of the International Polo Series.

Newport Polo is equally proud to announce the return of Italy on July 11, 2026, welcoming back one of the sport’s most storied and stylish competitors to the Newport grounds. Renowned for their finesse, tradition, and passionate following, Italy’s return promises a match steeped in heritage and high caliber play, an enduring favorite making its celebrated comeback.

Together, these matches set the tone for a season defined by legacy and discovery where tradition returns and history begins. The countdown to summer 2026 is on.
