TSX vs NYSE holidays in 2026

In 2026 the TSX and the NYSE share five closed days. Each also closes five days the other trades through. That's ten days a year when one market is open and the other isn't.

The short answer

In 2026 the TSX in Toronto and the NYSE in New York both close on five days: New Year's Day, Family Day (Presidents' Day in the US, the same Monday), Good Friday, Labour Day and Christmas.

Each market also closes on five days the other one trades. The TSX shuts for Canadian holidays and the NYSE for American ones. Nasdaq keeps the same days as the NYSE.

Both markets keep the same hours on a normal day: 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

Holiday by holiday

Two more days to know:

• Remembrance Day (November 11) and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (September 30): the TSX is open. So is the NYSE.
• Short days. In 2026 the NYSE closes at 1:00 p.m. ET on the day after US Thanksgiving and on Christmas Eve. The TSX closes at 1:00 p.m. ET on Christmas Eve too.

Boxing Day falls on a Saturday in 2026, so the TSX closes the following Monday instead. Sources: nyse.com and money.tmx.com.

For 2027, the NYSE has published its dates: see stock market holidays 2027. I couldn't confirm a full 2027 TSX list when I wrote this page, so check money.tmx.com before you plan around it. For everything else that moves markets next year, see the full 2027 economic calendar.

What it means for interlisted stocks

Many big Canadian companies trade in both Toronto and New York. On the ten split days, only one of those listings trades.

• TSX open, NYSE closed. The Canadian shares trade in Canadian dollars. The US shares don't trade, and neither do the US-listed options on them. Toronto trading is often quieter on these days.
• NYSE open, TSX closed. The US shares and US options trade. The Canadian shares sit still. Canadian-listed options follow the Canadian calendar, so they're closed too.

The hard part: on a split day you can watch the price move on one side and not be able to act on the other. For how the two option chains compare on a normal day, see TSX vs US options on interlisted stocks.

The account doesn't change any of this. A position in a TFSA or RRSP follows the exchange's calendar, the same as a taxable account.

A worked example: news on US Thanksgiving

This is a worked example (hypothetical, made-up company and round numbers).

You sold one US-listed put on Northern Pipeline, a company listed in both Toronto and New York. The strike is $40, and you collected $1.00 a share, or $100.

On US Thanksgiving the NYSE is closed. The TSX is open. Bad news comes out that morning, and the Toronto shares fall all day. Your US put can't be traded until Friday.

On Friday the US shares open at $35. You buy the put back for $5.00 a share.

You lost $400: $500 to buy it back, less the $100 you collected. You saw it coming a full day early and couldn't act. And that Friday is a short day on the NYSE, so there's less time to do it.

The lesson isn't to avoid interlisted stocks. It's to know the ten split days, and to ask before each one: "If something happens on the side that's open, am I fine waiting?" Sellers in the wheel strategy feel this most, because their positions run for weeks.
