About

This site answers one question - when is the next Federal Reserve meeting that sets US interest rates? - with the date up front, a live countdown to the decision, and the full official FOMC calendar for 2026 and 2027.

The FOMC meets eight times a year over two days. The rate decision is released in a statement at 2:00 PM Eastern Time on the second day, followed by the Chair's press conference at 2:30 PM ET. March, June, September and December meetings also publish the Summary of Economic Projections (the dot plot). Dates here come from the Federal Reserve's published meeting calendar and are updated when the Fed publishes new ones; the countdown and the next-meeting answer are computed in your browser, so the page keeps itself current after every meeting.

What this site is not: it does not predict what the Fed will decide, and it is not financial advice. The Fed itself notes that each date is tentative until confirmed at the preceding meeting, and it can call unscheduled meetings at any time. Confirm with the official calendar before relying on a date.
