Dates people often get wrong
Open a direct answer for major market holidays, early closes, and federal holidays when stocks still trade.
The U.S. stock market usually opens for regular trading from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time, Monday through Friday. NYSE and Nasdaq generally follow the same regular session, but both markets close for recognized U.S. market holidays and may close early on selected dates.
This page summarizes the regular U.S. market schedule and the 2026 holiday calendar checked against official NYSE and Nasdaq sources. Always verify the current trading calendar with the official exchange or your broker before placing time-sensitive trades.
Key points
- Regular U.S. session: 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time.
- Pre-market and after-hours trading may be available through some brokers but can have different liquidity and rules.
- The 2026 U.S. market calendar includes full closures and two early-close dates.
- Market status on the homepage is calculated using the exchange timezone, not a fixed UTC offset.
How today's status is determined
The status check starts with the exchange's local date in America/New_York, then checks whether that date is a weekend, a listed holiday, an early-close day, or a regular trading day.
If the market is currently between session start and session end, it is shown as open. If the next scheduled event is ahead, the page shows whether the market opens, closes, or reopens next.

Frequently asked questions
Are NYSE and Nasdaq open at the same time?
For regular trading, NYSE and Nasdaq usually run from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time on business days, excluding market holidays and special closures.
Does pre-market trading mean the stock market is open?
Pre-market trading is an extended-hours session, not the regular market session. Availability, liquidity, order types, and rules may vary by broker.
Why should I still check the official calendar?
Unexpected exchange closures, rule changes, weather events, national days of mourning, or broker-specific restrictions may not be reflected immediately in static reference data.
