| District | Party | Comments |
| 1 | BOTH | Democrat G.K. Butterfield is retiring. He has endorsed State Sen. Don Davis. Eight are contesting the GOP nomination in this competitive general election district. |
| 4 | D | David Price is retiring from this safe Democratic seat. The frontrunners in the primary field appear to be State Sen. Valerie Foushee and Durham County Commissioner Nida Allam. Singer Clay Aiken is also on the ballot |
| 6 | R | Freshman Rep. Kathy Manning's district was shifted notably to the right in redistricting, although is still going to be a longshot for whichever Republican emerges from the seven-person field. |
| 11 | R | Dogged by a series of controversies and opposed by much of the GOP establishment, incumbent Madison Cawthorn faces seven challengers in his bid for renomination. His strongest opponent is State Sen. Chuck Edwards. The size of the field could save Cawthorn, as a first place finish that clears 30% will avoid a runoff. |
| 13 | BOTH | A new seat created in redistricting, this district in the central part of the state profiles as the state's most competitive in November. |
