Stock Market Holidays 2026: Full Calendar

The NYSE and NASDAQ are closed on 9 holidays in 2026. Here's the complete list:

On a few days each year, the market closes early at 1:00 PM ET instead of the usual 4:00 PM. These typically include:

• July 2 (Thursday) — Day before Independence Day (observed)
• November 27 (Friday) — Day after Thanksgiving
• December 24 (Thursday) — Christmas Eve

Early close days are easy to miss, so it's a good idea to bookmark this page or check Is the Market Open Today? before you trade.

If a stock market holiday falls on a Saturday, the market is usually closed on the Friday before. If it falls on a Sunday, the market closes on the following Monday. That's why you'll sometimes see dates listed as "observed" — it means the actual holiday is on a weekend but the market closure moves to a weekday.

For example, Independence Day 2026 is on Saturday, July 4th, so the market closes on Friday, July 3rd instead.

No — each country has its own set of holidays. The London Stock Exchange follows UK bank holidays, the Tokyo Stock Exchange follows Japanese holidays, and so on.
