Blue Angels Come Home: Navy Team Closes 2026 Season at NAS Pensacola Nov 6-7, Free Admission
Naval Air Station Pensacola, in Escambia County, Florida, hosts the 2026 Blue Angels Homecoming Air Show on Friday and Saturday, November 6-7. The U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels, will close out their 2026 air show season over Sherman Field at their home station, with free general admission and free parking.
According to the organizers' published schedule, both days run the same: gates open at 8 a.m., flying begins at 9:30 a.m., and the Blue Angels are scheduled to fly at about 2 p.m. Organizers expect more than 300,000 spectators over the two days. Blanket and lawn seating along the flightline is free; optional box seating is offered at $50 per seat.
It is the first Homecoming show since 2024. NAS Pensacola is the Blue Angels' home base and the birthplace of U.S. naval aviation; the National Naval Aviation Museum sits on the same station. The 2026 season marks the team's 80th year, and the homecoming is its final public performance before winter training.
The team's C-130 support aircraft, 'Fat Albert,' will sit out the show for maintenance and is expected back in 2027. Civilian and military aerobatic acts round out the lineup; the daily order can change with weather and cloud cover.
