Diamond Jubilee Season

Newport, RI – Newport Polo is pleased to announce that the 2026 season pre-sale will open on Saturday, October 4 at 10:00 AM, offering fans the first opportunity to reserve their place in what promises to be one of the most historic seasons in the sport’s history. The upcoming season will mark 35 years of the Newport International Polo Series, and more significantly, the 150th Diamond Jubilee to mark the founding of America’s First Polo Club here in 1876.

The opening of the box office will give loyal supporters priority access (in January) to the most sought-after seating and hospitality options for the coming summer with the purchase of a Season Pass. All Season pass options will be available for purchase, allowing guests to secure admission for the full season, as capacity limits are put in place, reserved tables at centerfield in the TD Pavilion and Corporate Chalets for the full lineup of matches before general ticket sales begin. Also opening in the pre-sale for 2026 are group reservations for parties of 30 or more, providing corporate and social groups the chance to plan their summer gatherings well in advance with access to the most popular seating options – tailgates, cabanas, reserve lawn seating, and chalets, ensuring memorable events from preferred vantage points for a summer of international competition and celebration.

“2026 marks both a tremendous opportunity and an honor — to celebrate the 150th anniversary of polo in America, which began right here in Newport,” said Dan Keating, Polo Club President and Founder of the Newport International Polo Series. “It also coincides with our 35th season — a milestone year in its own right. While the schedule is still taking shape, we already have big plans in motion, gearing up for a once-in-a-lifetime celebration you won’t want to miss.”

To build anticipation for the Jubilee kick off, a sneak preview of the 2026 schedule of events & matches will be revealed on the Newport Polo website beginning at 10:00 AM on Saturday, October 4, when the Box Office preseason sale opens. Fans will be able to check for their favorite events, sign up for notifications of updates as they are announced, and plan their summer in advance of ticket reservations.

The 2026 schedule will once again bring challengers from across the globe to face off against the home team, continuing a tradition of international rivalry that has made Newport Polo a unique cultural and sporting experience. A series of major announcements is expected in the months ahead, including the much-anticipated date of Newport Polo’s 150th Anniversary Celebration, which will be a centerpiece of the season and a historic gathering for polo fans across the country.

Tickets and packages for the 2026 season will be available exclusively through the Newport Polo website beginning at 10:00 AM on Saturday, October 4. The early release of the schedule and pre-sale heralds a milestone year—celebrating 150 years of polo in America—and invites fans to be among the first to reserve their place for this historic and unforgettable season ahead.
