ACCA Exam Dates 2026

December 2026 is blank because ACCA hasn't published it yet, as of when this page was last checked. Third-party "ACCA exam dates" articles showing confident December 2026 dates are estimating from past years' patterns, and those estimates disagree with each other by anywhere from a few days to two weeks. We'll update this page once ACCA confirms it rather than publish a plausible-looking guess.

On-demand (any day, no sitting needed)

Business and Technology (BT), Management Accounting (MA), Financial Accounting (FA), and most variants of Corporate and Business Law (LW) are computer-based exams you can book at a licensed centre whenever you're ready. There's no entry deadline to track for these. Book, sit, and get your result on the same rhythm as any other CBE.

Fixed sittings (March, June, September, December)

The Applied Skills papers (Performance Management, Taxation, Financial Reporting, Audit and Assurance and Financial Management), plus all Strategic Professional papers, are tied to one of the four sittings above. March and September only offer limited variants at these levels; June and December offer the full set.

Standard vs late entry

Booking by the standard entry deadline gets you the lowest fee. Miss it and you can still book up to the late deadline at a higher fee, where a session offers late entry at all. June 2026 doesn't. June sittings have historically had no late-entry window, so treat the standard deadline as a hard stop if you're aiming for June.

Results timing

Results are released roughly five to six weeks after the exams take place, always at 00:00 UK time. If you want a text alert rather than checking myACCA at midnight, opt in through myACCA at least seven days before results day. It's a one-off setting that applies to all future sittings once turned on.
