US stock markets close on 10 weekdays in 2027 and close early on one more. Three of the holidays fall on a weekend, so the market shuts on a nearby weekday instead.

The 2027 stock market holidays

The NYSE and Nasdaq are closed on 10 weekdays in 2027. Here is the full list, straight from the NYSE's holiday calendar:

Source: nyse.com. The NYSE publishes three years at a time. Nasdaq's own 2026 list matched the NYSE's day for day. We hadn't seen Nasdaq's separate 2027 page as of October 2026, so check it once it's posted.

On a regular day the market is open 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET. On a holiday, it doesn't open at all. No regular trading, no pre-market and no after-hours.

By our count from that list, 2027 has 251 trading days: 261 weekdays minus the 10 holidays.

The one early close in 2027

The market closes early, at 1:00 p.m. ET, on one day in 2027:

That's the day after Thanksgiving. There is no Christmas Eve early close in 2027. Christmas Day falls on a Saturday, so Friday, December 24 is the holiday itself, and the market is shut all day.

Bond markets keep a different list of early closes. The two are easy to mix up. See stock market half days for both, side by side.

Three holidays move in 2027

When a holiday lands on a weekend, the NYSE closes on a nearby weekday instead. The rule is simple:

• Saturday holiday: closed the Friday before.
• Sunday holiday: closed the Monday after.

In 2027 this happens three times:

The rule has one exception, for a Friday that ends a month or a year. My page on what happens when a holiday falls on a weekend explains it. The rule's text is in an SEC filing: govinfo.gov.

Holidays when stocks stay open

Some days off for other people are normal trading days for stocks:

• Columbus Day (second Monday in October): stocks open. The bond market closed for it in 2026.
• Veterans Day (November 11): stocks open. The bond market closed for it in 2026 too. See is the stock market open on Veterans Day?
• The day after Thanksgiving: open, but only until 1:00 p.m.

Good Friday works the other way. It isn't a federal holiday, but the stock market is closed. In 2027 it falls on March 26.

The bond market follows its own calendar. See bond market holidays. If you also trade in Canada, the TSX closes on different days: TSX vs NYSE holidays.

What a holiday does to your options

A holiday doesn't just close the market. It changes your option's last day.

Monthly options expire on the third Friday. In 2027, the third Friday of June is June 18, the Juneteenth holiday. So the June options trade for the last time on Thursday, June 17. Every other 2027 monthly expiration stays on its Friday. The full list is in our options expiration calendar.

Holidays also shrink the number of trading days inside your trade. A put with "30 days to go" might have only 20 days the market is actually open. Our trading days calculator counts them for you.

A worked example (hypothetical)

Here's a made-up case, an illustration, not a trade idea.

In late May 2027 you sell one cash-secured put on a made-up stock, Cobalt Tools. The strike is $45. You collect $1.00 a share, or $100. It's the June monthly, and you write "Friday the 18th" in your notes, planning to buy it back that morning if it's close.

But Friday is the holiday. The last trading day is Thursday, June 17. On Thursday the stock slides and closes at $40. You never got your Friday. You're assigned 100 shares at $45.

The math: at $40, the shares are worth $4,000 but cost $4,500. That's −$500. Add back the $100 premium, and you're at −$400. Then the market stays shut for a three-day weekend.

The lesson isn't about the stock. It's that your plan pointed at a day that didn't exist. Read the date on the contract, not the week it sits in.

The rest of 2026

As of late October 2026, two full holidays are left this year: Thanksgiving and Christmas. Here is the full 2026 list:

And the two early closes left in 2026, both at 1:00 p.m. ET:
