Postal Service Announces 19 New Issuances for 2026

October 29, 2025

When the leaves start to turn and the temperatures drop, we know it’s autumn again and time for the U.S. Postal Service to pull back the curtain on some of its new issuances for 2026. So far there are 19! Most importantly, several of them will celebrate a big birthday: the United States turns 250 next year. 

While some of the new Forever® stamps delve into American history, others will fete revered national icons and an array of treasured traditions, from car culture to road trips to favorite vacation destinations. Colorado could fall into that category, but instead it becomes the subject of a 2026 stamp because it will be observing its 150th year of statehood. 

Where would we be without our heroes? Again in 2026, several stamps will raise up extraordinary Americans — trailblazers who have contributed to our rich heritage, whether through literature, art, cinema, or athleticism. 

We can also look forward to new stamps featuring flora and fauna, and applauding love and the yearning for international peace.
