Summary
Fox News Media will start live Election Night coverage at 6 p.m. ET on Nov. 3, with Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum leading results, race calls and analysis across TV, digital and streaming platforms.
More than 20 correspondents will report from battleground states while the Fox News Decision Desk calls House, Senate and governor races and projects which party wins each chamber of Congress.
FOX Business will simulcast the coverage from 6 p.m. Tuesday to 6 a.m. Wednesday, with Trace Gallagher handling overnight coverage before an early edition of "FOX & Friends First" at 4 a.m.
Fox News Digital and the app will add a live blog, Elections Center, county-level maps, a new Midterms 2026 tab and an AI-powered Election HQ chatbot for race and results questions.
The expanded rollout comes days before voters decide control of the House and Senate, with Fox also adding augmented-reality and county-shift graphics for this year's midterm coverage.
