Stock Market Holiday Schedule for 2026 and 2027
The U.S. stock market will be closed on Monday, September 7, in observance of Labor Day in 2026. The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq typically close on major federal holidays such as New Year's Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. In addition to full-day closures, there are early closings at 1 p.m. Eastern Time for certain days like Black Friday and Christmas Eve. For the year 2026, stock market holidays include ten dates with two early closings. The schedule is similar in 2027 but adjusted due to changes in calendar alignment. Extended trading hours are available outside regular session times; however, they carry higher volatility risks because of lower volume and potential order execution issues. The bond market also follows a distinct holiday schedule set by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA), including additional closures for Indigenous Peoples' Day and Veterans Day.
