Nasdaq is preparing to extend trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market to 23 hours a day, five days a week. The company's 23/5 trading information hub says the new schedule is expected to begin on Sunday, December 6, 2026, subject to Securities Information Processor readiness and applicable SEC rule changes.

The planned overnight session would run from 9:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. Eastern Time. It would complement the existing 4:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. pre-market period and the 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. post-market period, while the regular US session would remain from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

Overnight session changes trading access

Trading would begin at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Sunday and continue until 8:00 p.m. on Friday. A daily pause from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. would allow processing and the transition to the next trade date. Nasdaq says trades placed between 9:00 p.m. and midnight would carry the following calendar day's trade date, while trades placed from midnight through 8:00 p.m. would use the current day.

The move is designed to give investors and issuers broader access to US equities across global time zones. Nasdaq's existing functionality between 4:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. would remain materially unchanged. Nasdaq Texas, PSX and Nasdaq options exchanges would continue operating on their current schedules.

Broader trading hours could increase the time available to respond to overnight news, but execution conditions will depend on broker access, market participation and the final operating framework. The daily pause and separate trade-date rules will remain important for order handling and settlement.
