US Stock Market Holidays 2027: When the NYSE and Nasdaq Are Closed

Summary

  • US stock exchanges close on 10 weekdays in 2027, according to the NYSE.
  • The only 2027 early close is Friday, November 26, at 1:00 p.m. ET (18:00 UTC).
  • The market is open on Columbus Day, Veterans Day and Friday, December 31, 2027.

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has published its 2027 holiday calendar. US stock exchanges will be closed on 10 weekdays in 2027 and will close early on one day, Friday, November 26.

That leaves 251 full trading days in 2027: the year's 261 weekdays minus the 10 closures. Below is every date, with the regular session in Eastern Time (ET) and UTC.

Three holidays move to a weekday

Three 2027 holidays fall on a weekend, so the market closes on the nearest weekday instead:

  • Juneteenth falls on Saturday, June 19, so markets close on Friday, June 18.
  • Independence Day falls on Sunday, July 4, so markets close on Monday, July 5.
  • Christmas Day falls on Saturday, December 25, so markets close on Friday, December 24.

New Year's Day 2028 also falls on a Saturday. The NYSE says no New Year's Day holiday is observed for it, so the market is open on Friday, December 31, 2027.

The One Early Close in 2027

On Friday, November 26, 2027, the day after Thanksgiving, US stock markets close at 1:00 p.m. ET, which is 18:00 UTC. Eligible options trade until 1:15 p.m. ET, according to the NYSE.

2026 has two early closes, on November 27 and December 24. In 2027, December 24 is the observed Christmas holiday itself, so the market is closed all day, and the NYSE lists no other early close.

Is the Stock Market Open on Columbus Day and Veterans Day?

Yes. Neither day is on the NYSE's holiday list, so US stock exchanges are open on Monday, October 11, 2027 (Columbus Day) and Thursday, November 11, 2027 (Veterans Day).

The US bond market keeps a separate calendar, set by the holiday recommendations of SIFMA, the securities industry's trade group. For 2026, SIFMA lists Columbus Day (October 12) and Veterans Day (November 11) as bond market holidays, while stock exchanges stay open. Its 2027 list does not cover those two days yet.

Does Nasdaq Close on the Same Days?

Nasdaq has not posted its 2027 schedule yet: its holiday page still shows 2026. In 2026, Nasdaq's US equity markets close on the same 10 days as the NYSE and close early on the same two days.

US Stock Market Hours in ET and UTC

On a normal trading day, the NYSE's core session runs from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET, according to the NYSE. ET follows US daylight saving time, so the session's UTC time moves by one hour twice a year.

US daylight saving time runs from the second Sunday of March to the first Sunday of November, according to NIST. In 2027 that is Sunday, March 14 to Sunday, November 7.

Period in 2027ET isRegular session in UTC
January 1 to March 13UTC-514:30 to 21:00
March 14 to November 6UTC-413:30 to 20:00

Planning Around 2027 Market Holidays

  • Nine three-day weekends. Five 2027 holidays fall on a Monday (January 18, February 15, May 31, July 5 and September 6) and four on a Friday (January 1, March 26, June 18 and December 24). News can still come out while the market is closed, and prices can open well above or below the last close when trading resumes.
  • A short Thanksgiving week. The market is closed on Thursday, November 25 and trades only until 1:00 p.m. ET on Friday, November 26.
  • No trading while exchanges are closed. US exchanges match no trades on a market holiday, so a trade you plan for that day can only happen on the next trading day.

Conclusion

US stock exchanges close on 10 weekdays in 2027 and close early once, on November 26. Three holidays move to a Friday or a Monday because they fall on a weekend, and the market stays open on December 31, 2027.

Checking the calendar before a long weekend helps you plan when you can trade.
