If you’ve been waiting to level up your SQL Server skills, the timing couldn’t be better. Registration is open at 50% off until July 10th, and my readers can get an extra 10% discount on top of that.
If you’ve been following the DBA community, you already know that Brent Ozar has some of the most practical, well-explained, no-nonsense SQL Server training out there.
What’s new in 2026 is worth paying attention to, regardless if you manage production SQL Server instances on-prem or work with Azure SQL DB.
Live Classes Full Season Pass at the lowest price ever
Until July 10th folks can get the Live Classes Season Pass 2026 at 50% off, and with my discount code they can get an extra 10% off at checkout.
To put that in numbers, the pricing looks like this (all prices listed exclude applicable VAT):
| Full price | Price until July 10th | With my discount code |
|---|---|---|
| $4,395 | $2,198 | $1,978.2 |
This means that applying my discount code will shave $219.8 off your price at checkout.
What you actually get
As Brent puts it in the announcement, all classes have been refreshed for current tech.
This means that they’ll cover:
- SQL Server 2025-specific features and optimizations.
- Azure SQL DB, because the cloud isn’t going away.
- First Responder Kit 2026 Edition, designed to work with the latest features of SQL Server 2025 as well as leverage AI for faster troubleshooting.
Joining the live sessions means you also get access to the class chat where you can ask questions live.
Live sessions scheduling
The Live Classes Season Pass 2026 consists of the Fundamentals Week and the Mastering series.
Live Fundamentals Week will take place between July 13th and July 17th, while the Live Mastering series spreads out across more days as follows:
- Mastering Index Tuning – August 31st through September 4th
- Mastering Query Tuning – September 28th through October 2nd

The Live Classes Season Pass also gives you access to the recorded classes in case you want to go over something again.
