Official release series

GDP (Third Estimate)

When is the next GDP (Third Estimate) release?

The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) calendar puts the next GDP (Third Estimate) at 8:30 AM EDT on Wednesday, Sep 30, 2026. Every one of the 4 dated entries lands at 8:30 AM Eastern, on a quarterly interval, across the run from Apr 9, 2026 to Dec 23, 2026.

Both the dates and the release instants are stated by the BEA calendar subscription file itself, which carries an Eastern timezone and one entry per release. Most entries are 8:30 a.m. Eastern and the file states a later time for a few, which is why each page takes its clock from its own entry rather than from a rule. Nothing here is derived.

What it measures

GDP (Third Estimate), in one paragraph

The third estimate is the last routine revision of a quarter before annual updates, published about three months after the quarter ends, together with industry detail and state-level figures.

What JMM reads first

By this vintage the growth rate is close to final and rarely moves markets, which is exactly why it is the version worth using for anything analytical. The industry and state detail released with it answers questions the headline cannot: which parts of the economy actually produced the quarter.

Measured schedule
