Antiques Roadshow Reveals First Stops for Its 2026 Filming Tour
As Antiques Roadshow prepares for another nationwide tour, Indianapolis joins a short list of cities tapped to host filming for the upcoming season.
Antiques Roadshow is heading to Indianapolis, Indiana, as part of its 2026 Production Tour, giving collectors and history lovers a chance to take part in the long-running PBS series when it films in the Circle City this summer. Indianapolis is scheduled as a stop on Monday, June 1, 2026, as the show continues its 2026 tour to film for a new season of episodes.
Produced by GBH for PBS under license from the BBC, Antiques Roadshow has spent decades delighting viewers by uncovering the stories and values behind everyday objects brought in by the public. At each tour stop, expert appraisers from leading auction houses and independent firms provide free verbal evaluations of antiques, art, and collectibles, giving visitors a chance to learn what their treasures might be worth. Three one-hour episodes per city are produced at each tour stop, and the episodes filmed in Indianapolis will be part of the 31st broadcast season, set to air on PBS in 2027.
In a press release, executive producer Marsha Bemko highlighted the continued excitement around the show’s national reach. “Nothing can stop America’s love of life-changing discoveries and authentic guest reactions,” she said of the 2026 tour, which promises surprising items with jaw-dropping values and authentic stories from families across the country.
Admission to Antiques Roadshow events is free, but tickets are required and must be obtained in advance through the Antiques Roadshow 2026 Sweepstakes. Fans can enter the sweepstakes for a chance to win one pair of tickets per household. The sweepstakes entry period began in January and runs through Monday, April 6, 2026.
A limited number of free tickets will also be available via social media to fans who enter via Instagram. Social media entries will be accepted beginning January 12, with an entry deadline of Thursday, February 12, 2026, at 11:59 PM PST.
