2026 Local election overnight results and analysis | Sky News special coverage

Join Sky News on results night to see live coverage of local election results as they are announced, with detailed analysis of what this may mean for you.

But the scale of these council elections in areas across England means that they may be the best indicator of current party politics, and in particular, Labour's loss of support since coming into government.
