Supreme Court December 2026 Arguments: Dates and Cases From Nov. 30 to Dec. 9

The Supreme Court of the United States has eight arguments on its calendar for the session beginning Monday, Nov. 30, 2026, spread over six days through Wednesday, Dec. 9. The court’s Monthly Argument Calendar for December 2026, amended Oct. 1, says the court convenes at 10 a.m. That is 10 a.m. Eastern Time (ET), or 7 a.m. Pacific by our conversion. Below are each day’s cases, the question each one asks in plain terms, and how to listen.

Supreme Court argument days and cases, Nov. 30 to Dec. 9

The calendar’s header reads “October Term 2026, for the session beginning November 30, 2026.” The court’s own index of calendars also lists a session beginning Jan. 11, 2027. The table gives the docket number, the court that ruled first and a one-sentence summary of the question, paraphrased from the court’s docket pages.

Date	Docket	Case	Came from	The question

Mi Familia Vota	9th Circuit	Whether the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) or a federal consent decree bars Arizona from requiring “satisfactory evidence” of U.S. citizenship on its state registration form, and whether the NVRA bars a program to cancel noncitizens’ registrations within 90 days of a federal election
Wed., Dec. 9	26-426	Department of Homeland Security (DHS) v. D.V.D.	1st Circuit	The court’s Sept. 29, 2026 order directs the parties to brief four questions; the first is whether the district court had jurisdiction over the respondents’ claims
Wed., Dec. 9	25-965	Grand v. City of University Heights	6th Circuit	Whether the First Amendment chilling-effect doctrine is displaced by the Williamson County land-use finality requirement, where plaintiffs allege government threats around a Planning Commission meeting chilled religious exercise and assembly

Each docket page says the case is “set for argument” on its date. For the Dec. 9 DHS case the court has no ordinary question presented; the row quotes what its Sept. 29 order says. Last argument day of the session: Wednesday, Dec. 9.

Why Viramontes and Grant share one hour

The December calendar lists Viramontes v. Cook County (25-238) and Grant v. Higgins (25-566) together on Wednesday, Dec. 2, marked “Consolidated - 1 hr. for argument.” The court granted the petitions as to the question in No. 25-238, which came from the 7th Circuit and was granted June 30, 2026. Because the two cases share a single hour, the day counts as one argument, which is why eight arguments cover nine docket numbers.

What the court has said about each grant

The court’s docket pages give the date each petition was granted.

What time do arguments start in each time zone?

The court convenes at 10 a.m. ET. The court’s Oral Arguments page says that “typically, the Court holds two arguments each day beginning at 10:00 a.m.” The calendar lists two arguments on Nov. 30 and Dec. 9 and one on each other day. We could not confirm start times for a second argument.

Zone	Court convenes
Eastern Time	10 a.m.
Central Time	9 a.m.
Mountain Time	8 a.m.
Pacific Time	7 a.m.

How to listen live or read the transcript

The court’s Oral Arguments page says an audio feed of each argument is live-streamed on the court’s website, on its live audio page. The court posts the audio later in the day and, on the afternoon of each argument, posts the transcripts of that day’s arguments.

How to attend an argument in person

According to the court’s Visitor’s Guide to Oral Argument, all oral arguments are open to the public, but seating is limited. Seating for the first argument begins at 9:30 a.m. The guide describes a pilot online lottery for Courtroom seating at ticket.supremecourt.gov and a first-come, first-seated line. Visitors go through magnetometer and x-ray screening. We could not confirm lottery dates.

When will the court decide these cases?

The court has not said when it will rule on any of the eight arguments. Its calendar covers argument days only; conference days and non-argument session dates are not on it. The court’s index lists a separate session beginning Jan. 11, 2027; we have no argument days for it. Print the one-page session sheet to keep the six dates and cases by your desk, and use the December 2026 printable calendar to mark them.

For other dates on the post-midterm calendar, see when 2026 election winners take office and the Dec. 11 federal funding deadline. The November 2026 printable calendar has room for Nov. 30.
