Market hours countdown

What the US stock market is doing right now in New York time, whatever timezone your device is in, plus a countdown to the next change.

How it works

Sessions are defined in Eastern time, so the page converts your clock to New York through the browser's own timezone database — the same for every visitor, correct across the March and November daylight-saving switches, and no hardcoded UTC offset.

SessionEastern window
Pre-market04:00–09:30
Regular session09:30–16:00
After-hours16:00–20:00

Outside those windows, and all day on weekends and dated full closes, the market is closed. On an early-close day the regular session ends at 13:00 ET and the rest of that day reads closed, since afternoon extended-hours cover varies by venue.

Worked example

At 10:00 ET on Fri 2026-11-27: Regular session open — early close 13:00, three hours to the close. At 12:00 ET on Sat 2026-11-28: Closed for the weekend, next open Mon 2026-11-30. At 10:00 ET on Fri 2026-07-03: Closed: Independence Day (observed), next open Mon 2026-07-06, as July 4 2026 is a Saturday. At 10:00 ET on Fri 2027-12-24: Closed: Christmas Day (observed) — a full close, not an early close.

What it will not tell you

Extended hours are not the regular session: participation is much thinner, so spreads are wider and the same order moves the price further. Many brokers restrict order types outside the regular session — market orders can be rejected and stop orders may not trigger. Weather, technical-halt and mourning closures are not listed, and the table stops at 2027.
