Spotify Wrapped 2026 Release Date: Not Announced Yet, With Every Launch Date Since 2020

Checked Oct. 25, 2026. We will update this page when Spotify announces the date.

Spotify has not announced the 2026 Wrapped date, and its newsroom, “Spotify - For the Record,” had no launch day as of Oct. 26, 2026. The Spotify for Artists page “Submitting Your Artist Messages for 2026 Wrapped” says “Until November 6, all artists can submit a short video message in Spotify for Artists to thank their fans for listening.” It gives no launch date either.

Spotify’s own posts do show when past Wrapped launches landed. This story lists all six, adds how many days each came after U.S. Thanksgiving, and gives a printable Wrapped watch timeline.

When does Spotify Wrapped 2026 come out?

Not yet announced. If Spotify follows the pattern of 2021 to 2025, the matching day is Wednesday, Dec. 2, 2026. That is our estimate from past dates, not a Spotify date, and Spotify could pick any day. We will update this page when the company announces it.

When did Spotify Wrapped launch in past years?

The dates below come from the date of each launch-day post on Spotify’s newsroom. The weekdays and the Thanksgiving gap are our computation.

Year	Launch day	Newsroom post	Thanksgiving	Days after Thanksgiving
2025	Wed., Dec. 3, 2025	“2025 Wrapped Is Here With More Layers, Stories, and Connection Than Ever Before”	Thu., Nov. 27	6
2024	Wed., Dec. 4, 2024	“2024 Wrapped Is Here! Experience Your Year in Listening Like Never Before”	Thu., Nov. 28	6
2023	Wed., Nov. 29, 2023	“Here’s What’s in Store for Your 2023 Wrapped”	Thu., Nov. 23	6
2022	Wed., Nov. 30, 2022	“Everything You Need To Know About 2022 Wrapped”	Thu., Nov. 24	6
2021	Wed., Dec. 1, 2021	“The Wait Is Over. Your Spotify 2021 Wrapped Is Here.”	Thu., Nov. 25	6
2020	Tue., Dec. 1, 2020	“6 New Features to ‘Unwrap’ in Your Spotify 2020 Wrapped”	Thu., Nov. 26	5

Is there a pattern to the Wrapped launch day?

Five launches in a row, 2021 to 2025, fell on a Wednesday between Nov. 29 and Dec. 4. Each was the Wednesday after Thanksgiving, which sits on the fourth Thursday of November. The 2020 launch was a Tuesday, five days after Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving 2026 is Thursday, Nov. 26 (see when Thanksgiving falls). Six days later is Wednesday, Dec. 2. A pattern is not a promise, so treat Dec. 2 as a planning guess and wait for Spotify’s post.

What listening period will Wrapped 2026 cover?

Spotify has not stated the 2026 window. In its Dec. 5, 2025 newsroom post, Spotify said “Wrapped captures your listening from January 1 until mid November.” It added: “We do this to ensure we have enough time to check the data and get everything ready for launch day.”

Who gets Wrapped, and how many songs do you need?

The 2026 rules are not yet published. In 2025, Spotify said Wrapped was “available for both Free and Premium users in nearly all markets where Spotify is live” and that “you need to have streamed at least 30 songs for more than 30 seconds each.” Spotify also said that listening in Private Mode, and songs or playlists you excluded, do not count.

The Spotify Wrapped help page says Wrapped “may not be available to all users.” In its 2024 post, Spotify advised keeping the iOS or Android app up to date.

What can you do before Wrapped 2026 launches?

• Mark the dates on the printable timeline and check Spotify’s newsroom for the announcement.
• Artists have until Nov. 6, 2026 to submit a video message in Spotify for Artists.
• Update the app, as Spotify advised in 2024.
• Plan around the holidays that follow: Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve both fall after Thanksgiving and the early-December launch dates of past years.
