Get Show-Ready for SEMA 2026
SEMA is the largest specialty-automotive trade event in the US, and the 2026 dates are confirmed.
When is SEMA 2026?
November 3–6, 2026, at the Las Vegas Convention Center — confirmed on SEMA's own event site. It's trade-only for most of the week; the general public can attend on Friday, November 6 only.
What actually happens at SEMA?
SEMA is where the aftermarket automotive industry — parts manufacturers, builders, and shops — shows what's new for the year ahead, alongside an enormous number of finished builds on display. It's less a show you enter your own car into and more one you go to see everyone else's work and what's coming to market.
If you're finishing a build before SEMA week
SEMA season tends to be when a lot of builders push to wrap up a project. A few interior details worth a last look:
- Shift knob condition and fitment — confirm your thread size before swapping anything in; see our guide to finding it.
- Consistency with the rest of the cabin — a knob that clashes with an otherwise finished interior stands out in photos.
Planning to go?
The full range ships made-to-order, so order with enough runway before the show rather than the week of.
