Looking Ahead: A Release Calendar of New & Upcoming Canadian Albums In 2026

A regularly updating list of new and upcoming albums from Canadian artists. Keep checking back as artists announce new releases.

Canadian artists have moved into 2026 with some big releases on the horizon.

Some have begun their album cycles, others have confirmed release dates and some have just teased that their records will be out this year. It has been a growing industry trend for major name artists to put out new music with little or even no advance notice, so coming out with a definitive and iron-clad release schedule is an ongoing process. That's why we will now be updating this calendar throughout the year. Check back each week to see the new additions.
