What to Expect at the 2026 Vegas Shoot: Schedule & Layout Updates

The countdown to The Vegas Shoot 2026 is officially on. While the excitement and energy remain the same, next year’s event will feature a few notable updates, including a return to a more traditional competition schedule and continued refinement of the event layout across Paris and Horseshoe.

Due to the availability and scheduling constraints of our host facilities, the 2026 Vegas Shoot schedule will look different from 2025, but will feel familiar to longtime competitors and fans of the event.

A Return to the Classic Vegas Schedule

In 2026, the Vegas Shoot returns to a format many archers know well:

• Championship & Flight Divisions will compete Friday through Sunday, March 27–29, 2026

• The iconic Championship Shoot-Off & Awards will once again close out the event Sunday evening at the world-famous PH Live Theatre

• Junior Divisions will shoot their traditional Friday and Saturday rounds

• Junior & Collegiate Awards will be held Saturday evening, March 28, 2026

  
  

With the schedule now set, we’re focused on delivering the seamless competition flow, electric atmosphere, and unforgettable moments that define the Vegas Shoot.

The full preliminary schedule is available here.

A Refined Event Layout for 2026

As The Vegas Shoot continues to evolve in its new footprint, 2026 will include several important layout updates designed to improve competition flow, spectator experience, and trade show access.

Planned layout highlights include:

• The Trade Show will move to the Paris Ballroom

• Championship Divisions will compete in the Paris Ballroom

• Junior Divisions will once again call the Horseshoe Grand Ballroom home

• Flight Divisions will be split between the Horseshoe Event Center and the Paris Ballroom, based on registration numbers by division

• Event Staff & Operations will be centrally located near the Paris event entrance, providing easier access for participants, spectators, and vendors across both properties

  
  

With competition spaces spread across Paris and Horseshoe, and finals hosted at Planet Hollywood's PH Live, the 2026 Vegas Shoot will once again place archers and fans in the center of the Las Vegas Strip. World-class dining, entertainment, and hotels are just steps away, creating a true Vegas experience from the first arrow to the final shoot-off.

These updates are part of our ongoing effort to find the best possible configuration in our new space, while keeping the Vegas Shoot experience efficient, exciting, and unmistakably Vegas.

Additional maps and detailed layouts will be shared closer to the event as registration numbers are finalized. We appreciate everyone’s patience and enthusiasm as we prepare to welcome the archery world back to Las Vegas for another unforgettable Vegas Shoot!
