Every month, Book Riot does a round-up of the most exciting new sci-fi and fantasy releases of the year. But let’s be honest, science fiction is often drowned out by fantasy in the SFF space. So, we’ve gone through all those new releases round-ups to highlight just the science fiction titles in this collection: The Biggest Science Fiction Books of 2026.

Anyone can browse Book Riot collections and click the covers to find the publisher’s description, the Book Riot recommendation, and links for where to purchase the title.

All Access members can create their own private and public collections, so if you want to keep track of the new sci-fi books on your TBR, that’s the best way to do it!
