COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Registration is open for the 2026 USA Archery Indoor Nationals and JOAD indoor Nationals, which runs from January 2 to March 1 across 16 different locations.
The first event will take place in Phoenix, Ariz., one of two new locations for 2026. The other is Cheney, Wash., with their event taking place mid-January.
In all, the Indoor Nationals and JOAD Indoor Nationals will visit Arizona, California (three times), Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Washington.
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 (U13 through U21) may compete in either or both the USA Archery Indoor Nationals and the USA Archery JOAD Indoor Nationals. Senior and 50+ athletes may compete only in the USA Archery Indoor Nationals.
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 athletes in the overall combined category of each men’s and women’s Barebow, Compound, and Recurve.
Archers will still receive medals for the National Championship titles by age class and division, but will have additional opportunity to earn prize money as well.
New for 2026, JOAD clubs will have the opportunity to compete in the JOAD Indoor Nationals Club Team Championship.
