There is no sound quite like the roar of the Hawk T1 engines and no sight quite like the Diamond Nine breaking through a summer sky. As we move into the 2026 season, the Red Arrows are set to crisscross the UK, bringing their world-class aerobatics to coastlines, race tracks, and airfields.

Whether you’re a seasoned "spotter" or planning your first family trip to the flight line, keeping track of the schedule is mission-critical. Below is the confirmed rundown of where you can catch the smoke-on action this year.

May: The Season Takes Flight

The Red Arrows kick off the summer with a busy double-header bank holiday weekend.

• May 29th & 30th: English Riviera Airshow Display

• May 30th & 31st: Midlands Air Festival Display

Pro Tip: Early-season displays in May can still be chilly on the coast. This is the perfect time to break out your Official RAF Red Arrows Roundel Adults Hoodie to stay warm while the team performs over the water.

June: High-Speed Heritage

June sees the team transitioning from the coast to the world of high-speed racing and iconic RAF stations.

• June 4th: Isle of Man TT Races Display

• June 6th: Gassed on Track, Silverstone Racecourse, Northampton

• June 14th: RAF Cosford Airshow Display

The RAF Cosford Airshow is a highlight of the June calendar. You mustn't settle for generic gear when you can wear our Official RAF 'Royal Air Force' Logo T-Shirt

August: The Summer Peak

After a mid-summer training break, the team returns for a heavy rotation of seaside carnivals and international airshows.

• August 14th – 16th: Airbourne - Eastbourne International Airshow

• August 19th: Cromer Carnival Display

• August 27th & 28th: Clacton Airshow Display

• August 28th: Sidmouth Regatta Airshow Display

Gear Check: Standing on a beach in August requires two things: hydration and our Official Red Arrows Embroidered Plane Cap. Our range of headwear is perfect for those long days at this year's airshows.

September: The Grand Finale

The season winds down with one of the most picturesque displays in the calendar.

• September 9th: Guernsey Air Display
