Country women are dominating this list of country albums scheduled for 2026. Ella Langley<\/a> and Megan Moroney<\/a> both have projects on the calendar.<\/p>\n

These albums follow strong re-issues from Trisha Yearwood <\/a>and Meghan Patrick<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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