What these hours mean

Regular session and exceptions

The regular session runs from 09:30 to 16:00 ET. Early-close sessions end at 13:00 ET. Market holidays and weekends have no regular session.

ET follows New York time, including daylight saving changes. The next event’s local date may differ from its date in New York.

A schedule, not confirmation of trading

“Open according to schedule” describes a scheduled session; it does not confirm that a particular security is trading. This countdown does not include premarket or after-hours trading.

The built-in calendar covers 2026–2028. The countdown relies on your device’s clock, and the calendar needs updates for extraordinary changes. Check official notices to confirm an exception.
