E-mini S&P 500 (ES) expiry calendar 2026–2027: last trading days and delivery
One row per listed month, computed from the exchange contract text and the reviewed holiday calendar; open a symbol for that month's page. The nearest six also appear on the E-mini S&P 500 product page; months expired within the last 60 days stay at the top.
How many E-mini S&P 500 contract months are listed, and how is the last trading day set?
As of 2026-09-25, 4 E-mini S&P 500 (ES) contract months are listed on CME: the nearest is ESZ6 (last trading day 2026-12-18), the furthest ESU7 (2027-09-17). Last-trading-day rule: the third Friday of the expiry month, rolled back to the preceding trading day if it is a holiday.
- Delivery rule: cash-settled on the last trading day itself
- CME equity-index convention: volume and open interest typically start rolling to the next quarterly contract eight days before expiry (a Thursday); the "roll" column is that date. A market convention, not an exchange rule.
- Dates after 2026-12-31 are rule-derived and marked "estimated" until the official closure notice is published; no prices or quotes on this page.
