Ten days. Hundreds of the newest cars, trucks, SUVs, hybrids and EVs from the world’s automakers. All out in the open with the doors unlocked and the test tracks running from the moment the show opens. Tickets to the 2026 Los Angeles Auto Show, presented by Chevron with Techron, are on sale now at laautoshow.com, with Opening Day, Weekdays Only, Weekend Priority Entry, Family Four Packs and VIP Guided Tour tickets joining the Any Day admission that has been available since June. The show returns to the Los Angeles Convention Center Nov. 20-29 and for a limited time, select tickets are 10% off until August 14th.
These tickets go on sale in the most competitive new-vehicle market in the country. California buys more new vehicles than any other state, and Los Angeles and Orange counties alone accounted for 595,112 new vehicle registrations in 2025, according to Experian data reported by the Greater Los Angeles New Car Dealers Association. That is more new cars in one Southern California market than most states register in a year, and it is why the world’s automakers bring their newest products to this floor first, and why what happens here in November shape the trends that show up in the rest of the country by spring.
For ten days, the brands competing for those buyers put it all in one building. Shoppers can cross-shop the entire market in an afternoon, sitting in a full-size truck, an electric crossover and a hybrid sedan from three different automakers within the same hour, on the same pavement, with no appointment, no credit application and nobody working a commission. Enthusiasts get the lowriders, customs and exotics in The Underground and specialty halls, where the builders, dreamers and customizers tell their stories live on the show floor.
“For 119 years, Los Angeles Auto Show has been part of this city’s story, and the automobile’s legacy,” said Terri Toennies, president of Los Angeles Auto Show. “Generations of Southern Californians have found their first car, their dream car and their ideal daily driver on this floor, and the world’s automakers keep bringing their newest work here because they know Los Angeles will tell them the truth about it. Opening every ticket type today is an invitation to be part of that, whether you are shopping for what comes next, bringing your family for the day, or coming to celebrate the car culture this city gave the world.”
The 2026 show brings back the experiences that keep Southern California coming back year after year, with new attractions, brand announcements and vehicle debuts to be revealed through the fall.
