The stock market holidays in 2026 and 2027 are the 10 days each year on which the New York Stock Exchange says all of its markets close: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Washington's Birthday, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. The last two of 2026 are Thanksgiving Day on Thursday, November 26, and Christmas Day on Friday, December 25. Nasdaq's holiday schedule marks the same 10 dates in 2026 as "Closed."

Days the market closes early
On an early close day the market is open but the session ends at 1:00 p.m. Eastern time, three hours before the usual end of the core trading session, which the New York Stock Exchange gives as 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The same page lists these early closes, with eligible options closing at 1:15 p.m.:
| Date | Reason |
|---|---|
| Friday, November 27, 2026 | Day after Thanksgiving |
| Thursday, December 24, 2026 | Day before Christmas Day |
| Friday, November 26, 2027 | Day after Thanksgiving |
On each of those days the late trading sessions on NYSE American Equities, NYSE Arca Equities, NYSE National and NYSE Texas close at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time, the exchange says. Nasdaq lists November 27, 2026, and December 24, 2026, as early closes at 1:00 p.m. and says it will continue to send alerts to notify customers of days when the market will close early. A separate page covers whether the stock market is open on Black Friday.
Stock market holidays in 2028
The New York Stock Exchange calendar runs through 2028, when it lists nine holidays instead of 10. The exchange says that because January 1, 2028, falls on a Saturday, no New Year's Day holiday is observed.
| Holiday | 2028 |
|---|---|
| Martin Luther King, Jr. Day | Monday, January 17 |
| Washington's Birthday | Monday, February 21 |
| Good Friday | Friday, April 14 |
| Memorial Day | Monday, May 29 |
| Juneteenth National Independence Day | Monday, June 19 |
| Independence Day | Tuesday, July 4 |
| Labor Day | Monday, September 4 |
| Thanksgiving Day | Thursday, November 23 |
| Christmas Day | Monday, December 25 |
The exchange lists two early closes at 1:00 p.m. Eastern time in 2028: Monday, July 3, and Friday, November 24, the day after Thanksgiving.
Bond market holidays that are not stock market holidays
The bond market follows a different calendar. SIFMA, which recommends a holiday schedule for financial markets in the United States, lists full closes on Columbus Day, Monday, October 12, 2026, and Veterans Day, Wednesday, November 11, 2026. Neither day is on the New York Stock Exchange list and Nasdaq's 2026 schedule does not list either one as closed. A separate page lists the federal holidays.
SIFMA also recommends early closes at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on Friday, November 27, 2026, on Thursday, December 24, 2026, and on Thursday, December 31, 2026. It says its recommendations apply to trading in U.S. dollar-denominated government securities, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, corporate bonds and municipal bonds, among other instruments.
