NASDAQ trading hours in Turkey time
Turkey stays on UTC+3 all year, while New York switches between winter and summer time. So the NASDAQ hours you see in Turkey shift by one hour twice a year. Here are both tables, plus the night session Nasdaq plans to add.
Winter (US standard time)
From the first Sunday of November to the second Sunday of March. New York is 8 hours behind Turkey. In 2026–27 this runs from 1 November 2026 to 14 March 2027.
| Session | New York (ET) | Turkey (TRT) |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-market | 04:00–09:30 | 12:00–17:30 |
| Regular session | 09:30–16:00 | 17:30–00:00 |
| After-hours | 16:00–20:00 | 00:00–04:00 (next day) |
Summer (US daylight time)
From the second Sunday of March to the first Sunday of November. New York is 7 hours behind Turkey. In 2027 this starts on 14 March.
| Session | New York (ET) | Turkey (TRT) |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-market | 04:00–09:30 | 11:00–16:30 |
| Regular session | 09:30–16:00 | 16:30–23:00 |
| After-hours | 16:00–20:00 | 23:00–03:00 (next day) |
The new 23/5 night session
Nasdaq plans to add a night session from 21:00 to 04:00 ET, so that its market trades 23 hours a day, five days a week, with a one-hour pause from 20:00 to 21:00 ET. According to Nasdaq the switch is expected on Sunday, 6 December 2026, pending readiness of the market-wide data feed (SIP) and any remaining SEC rule changes. In Turkish winter time the night session would be 05:00–12:00 TRT and the pause 04:00–05:00 TRT; the trading week would start on Monday 05:00 TRT and end on Saturday 04:00 TRT.
Liquidity outside the regular session is much thinner and spreads are wider, so prices can move more on small orders.
Holidays and early closes
The market is closed on US exchange holidays and closes early on a few days, such as the day after Thanksgiving. Check Nasdaq's official holiday calendar for exact dates.
In Nasdaq Life
The terminal shows the current session (pre-market, regular, after-hours) and labels delayed data. Some data providers are only live for part of the extended sessions; when a feed is delayed, the panel says so.
