2026 INDOOR NATIONALS & JOAD INDOOR NATIONALS EVENT MAGAZINE
Starting January 2 and running through March 1, the 2026 USA Archery Indoor Nationals and JOAD Indoor Nationals will involve thousands of archers across the nation.
Phoenix, AZ will kick off proceedings in the first few days of the new year, with three locations closing out Indoor Nationals eight weeks later.
In between, Chula Vista in California will host three events with other stops in Washington, Kentucky, Florida, South Dakota, Utah, New Jersey, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Texas, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Michigan and Virginia.
The 57th USA Archery Indoor Nationals and the USA Archery JOAD Indoor Nationals are two separate events contested on the same weekend at different sites throughout the U.S.
Youth archers may compete in either or both the USA Archery Indoor Nationals and the USA Archery JOAD Indoor Nationals. Senior and 50+ divisions may compete only in the USA Archery Indoor Nationals.
Among the 16 states hosting 18 events are newcomers in Phoenix, AZ and Cheney, WA. Registration details will be available by mid-October.
There will not be a USA Archery Indoor Final in 2026, but rather prize money will be distributed based on the final combined results from all Indoor Nationals locations for each gender and division (bow type). Previously, prize money has been for those in the top six. For 2026, there will be prize money for the top 10.
Archers will still receive medals for the National Championship titles by division but will have additional opportunity to earn prize money as well.
