To find the length of segment \( \overline{AB} \), we subtract the coordinate of point A from the coordinate of point B.

Given that:
- The coordinate of point A is 26.
- The coordinate of point B is 65.

The length of \( \overline{AB} \) is:

\[
AB = |B - A| = |65 - 26| = 39
\]

Thus, the length of \( \overline{AB} \) is 39 units.
