The 2026 United States House of Representatives elections in Colorado will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect the eight U.S. representatives from the State of Colorado, one from each of the state's congressional districts. The elections will coincide with other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate, and various state and local elections. The primary elections will take place on June 30, 2026.

The 1st district includes almost all of Denver, as well as the enclaves of Glendale and Holly Hills. The incumbent is Democrat Diana DeGette, who was re-elected with 76.6% of the vote in 2024.

The 3rd district encompasses the Colorado Western Slope, including the cities of Montrose, Pueblo, and Grand Junction. The incumbent is Republican Jeff Hurd, who was elected with 50.8% of the vote in 2024.

Donald Trump initially backed Hurd for re-election but rescinded his endorsement in February 2026, calling him a “RINO,” and instead endorsed challenger Hope Scheppelman, a former vice chair of the Colorado Republican Party. The following month, Trump reversed course and re-endorsed Hurd after Scheppelman met with him and agreed to withdraw. In a statement, Scheppelman urged supporters to “hold Hurd’s feet to the fire” and said she would consider a 2028 primary challenge if he did not “correct his naive voting record.”

On March 2, 2026, Trisha Calvarese filed a lawsuit in Denver District Court against a member of the Colorado Democratic Party, alleging the party violated state election law by allowing fellow candidate Eileen Laubacher to participate in the Democratic caucus and assembly process. Calvarese’s campaign argued that Laubacher is a “lifelong Republican,” noting she registered as a Democrat only in March 2025. The following day, a judge denied a request for a temporary restraining order that would have blocked Laubacher’s participation. Calabrese ultimately dropped out of the race on April 1, 2026.
