Field Day is approaching fast…and so is the 4th of July! Stock up on official 2026 ARRL Field Day merchandise and own a piece of history with this year’s patriotic red, white, and blue design honoring America’s 250th anniversary.

ARRL Field Day, June 27–28, is amateur radio’s largest on-the-air event and part of the nationwide America250 celebration. This year’s theme, “Amateur Radio: A National Resource,” highlights the vital role ham radio plays in public service, emergency communications, and connecting communities. Whether you plan to operate as a group, with a friend, or simply visit a local site—there’s no better time to get ready.

The 2026 Field Day collection is now shipping and includes t-shirts, hats, mugs, pins, patches, stickers, notebooks, banners, recruitment posters, and more. The t-shirt lists ARRL and RAC sections on the back—a fun way to track contacts. Comfortable, durable, and unisex, it’s ideal for both Field Day and Fourth of July celebrations.
