The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), a US exchange where shares are bought and sold, is closed on 10 weekdays in 2027. It lists one early close, a day when trading stops before the usual end: Friday 26 November, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
We wrote this page on 11 November 2026 from the NYSE's own holiday page.
What are the stock market holidays in 2027? The NYSE is closed on 10 weekdays: 1 January, 18 January, 15 February, 26 March, 31 May, 18 June, 5 July, 6 September, 25 November, and 24 December.
Three of those dates move a weekend holiday to a weekday: Juneteenth on Friday 18 June, Independence Day on Monday 5 July, and Christmas Day on Friday 24 December.
The NYSE lists one early close, a day when trading ends before the usual 4:00 p.m.: Friday 26 November, the day after Thanksgiving, at 1:00 p.m.
By our count, 2027 has 251 trading days, meaning weekdays when the NYSE is open, the same as 2026. The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA), a trade body for US securities firms that recommends bond market holidays, suggests two more closures than the NYSE: 11 October and 11 November.
What are the stock market holidays in 2027?
The NYSE lists 10 full holidays for 2027. On a full holiday, its markets are closed all day. The table below shows each 2027 closure, the matching 2026 date, and its status.

Each row gives a holiday, its 2027 date, its 2026 date, and its status. The last row is the early close.
Nine of the ten closures fall on a Monday or a Friday. That gives the stock market nine three-day weekends in 2027. The tenth is Thanksgiving on Thursday 25 November, which the early close on Friday 26 November follows.
The NYSE list has no closure on Columbus Day or Veterans Day, so the NYSE is open on Monday 11 October and Thursday 11 November 2027. This page covers the NYSE only. We did not open Nasdaq's own calendar, so we make no claim about it.
When does the stock market close early in 2027?
An early close means the market stops trading before the usual 4:00 p.m. The NYSE page lists one for 2027: Friday 26 November, the day after Thanksgiving. All NYSE markets close at 1:00 p.m. that day. Options, which are contracts to buy or sell shares at a set price, close at 1:15 p.m. if they are eligible.
Four NYSE venues also run a late session after the regular close. On 26 November, the NYSE says those late sessions end at 5:00 p.m. NYSE American Equities, NYSE Arca Equities, NYSE National, and NYSE Texas are the four.
The NYSE page lists no early close for Friday 2 July 2027, the Friday before the Independence Day closure. It lists none for Thursday 23 December or Friday 31 December 2027 either.
What happens when a holiday falls on a weekend?
The NYSE moves some weekend holidays to a nearby weekday. The 2027 list shows how, in three cases.
Juneteenth falls on Saturday 19 June 2027. The NYSE closes on Friday 18 June.
Independence Day falls on Sunday 4 July 2027. The NYSE closes on Monday 5 July.
Christmas Day falls on Saturday 25 December 2027. The NYSE closes on Friday 24 December.
The NYSE labels each of these "observed". An observed holiday is the weekday on which the exchange closes in place of the weekend date.
New Year's Day works differently. 1 January 2028 falls on a Saturday. The NYSE states that no New Year's Day holiday is observed for it. Friday 31 December 2027 is therefore not a holiday on the NYSE list. It is the last trading day of 2027.
The NYSE page lists no early close for it.
The first trading day of 2027 is Monday 4 January, after the closure on Friday 1 January.
How does 2027 compare with 2026?
Both years have 10 full closures and 261 weekdays. That leaves 251 trading days in each year, by our count.
A trading day is a weekday when the NYSE is open. Early-close days count as trading days. The NYSE lists two early closes in 2026, on Friday 27 November and Thursday 24 December. It lists one in 2027.
We checked our 2026 count against SPY, an exchange-traded fund (a fund whose shares trade on an exchange like a stock) that tracks the S&P 500. It has a price on each of the 216 expected trading days from 2 January to 10 November 2026. It has none on the NYSE's 2026 holidays in that span.
Chart 1 shows trading days by month. Six of the 12 months differ between the years. January, July, and October lose one trading day in 2027, while April, August, and November gain one.

January 2027 has 19 trading days, against 20 in 2026, because January 2027 has 21 weekdays against 22 in January 2026. The 2027 quarters hold 60, 63, 64, and 64 trading days. The 2026 quarters hold 61, 62, 64, and 64.
The longest stretch between two closures is 80 calendar days in both years. In 2027, it runs from Labor Day on Monday 6 September to Thanksgiving on Thursday 25 November. In 2027, the shortest gap is 17 calendar days, which happens twice. One gap runs from 1 January to 18 January, the other from 18 June to 5 July.
Is the bond market closed on the same days?
Not always. SIFMA, the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, a trade body for US securities firms, publishes holiday recommendations for the bond market. They cover trading in US government bonds, corporate bonds, municipal bonds, and related securities. We opened its US holiday schedule on 11 November 2026.
For 2027, SIFMA recommends full closures on the NYSE's 10 dates plus two more: Columbus Day on Monday 11 October and Veterans Day on Thursday 11 November. That makes 12.
SIFMA also recommends five early closes at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on days when the NYSE trades to 4:00 p.m.: Thursday 25 March, Friday 28 May, Friday 2 July, Thursday 23 December, and Friday 31 December. It recommends a sixth, on Friday 26 November, when the NYSE closes at 1:00 p.m.

What are the regular NYSE trading hours?
The core session on the NYSE runs from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The NYSE opens with an auction at 9:30 a.m. and ends with one at 4:00 p.m.
The NYSE's pre-opening session starts at 6:30 a.m. Orders entered then wait in a queue for the opening auction, the single trade that sets the first price.
Other NYSE venues run longer days. NYSE Arca Equities has an early session from 4:00 a.m. and a late session until 8:00 p.m. NYSE American Equities, NYSE National, and NYSE Texas start their early sessions at 7:00 a.m. and also end at 8:00 p.m.
These are the hours the NYSE page showed on 11 November 2026. The NYSE can change them. Our guide to how the stock market works covers what an exchange does.
We list central bank dates on our Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting schedule and Bank of Japan meeting schedule pages.
In short, the NYSE is closed on 10 weekdays in 2027, lists one early close on Friday 26 November, and has 251 trading days.

Common questions about stock market holidays in 2027
What are the NYSE holidays in 2027?
The NYSE is closed on 1 January, 18 January, 15 February, 26 March, 31 May, 18 June, 5 July, 6 September, 25 November, and 24 December 2027. That is 10 weekdays. The NYSE also lists one early close, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday 26 November. We took the dates from the NYSE's page on 11 November 2026.
Is the stock market open on Christmas Eve 2027?
No. Christmas Day falls on Saturday 25 December 2027, so the NYSE closes on Friday 24 December instead. The NYSE's page marks that date as Christmas Day observed. The NYSE lists no early close on Thursday 23 December. Regular trading resumes on Monday 27 December, as no other holiday is listed.
Is the stock market open on New Year's Eve 2027?
Yes, on the NYSE list. 1 January 2028 falls on a Saturday. The NYSE says no New Year's Day holiday is observed for it. Friday 31 December 2027 is therefore a normal trading day. The NYSE page lists no early close for it. SIFMA, a trade body for US securities firms, recommends a 2:00 p.m. bond market close.
Is the stock market closed for Juneteenth and July 4 in 2027?
Yes, on different days. Juneteenth falls on Saturday 19 June, so the NYSE closes on Friday 18 June. Independence Day falls on Sunday 4 July, so the NYSE closes on Monday 5 July. Both are full closures. The NYSE lists no early close on Friday 2 July.
Is the bond market open on Columbus Day and Veterans Day 2027?
SIFMA recommends full closes on both days: Monday 11 October and Thursday 11 November 2027. The NYSE list has no closure on either date, so the NYSE's stock markets are open. SIFMA describes its schedule as recommendations. It also recommends 2:00 p.m. early closes on six other 2027 days.
