Governor Kay Ivey announced today that she will deliver her 9th State of the State address to a joint session of the Alabama Legislature on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, at 6:00 p.m.

She’ll deliver remarks the same night Alabama lawmakers convene in Montgomery for the 2026 legislative session, Ivey’s 10th as governor.

“We are coming into this legislative session with some serious momentum,” Governor Ivey said.

“Just last month, we announced Lilly Medicine would be investing some $6 billion dollars to build a new manufacturing facility in our state, and this is only one of our most recent wins that will further strengthen Alabama’s future. I am proud to work with our legislators this session to get good work done for the people of Alabama.

We will continue building on our success in education, bolstering public safety, conservatively budgeting and preparing for Alabama’s strong future. I look forward to delivering my state of the state address Tuesday, January 13 at 6:00 p.m. It is going to be a productive and exciting 12 months ahead!”

The 2026 State of the State will be broadcasted live across online platforms.

Ivey’s office noted that next week’s address will be her last as Governor of Alabama.
