When do I rollover futures contracts?

Below you’ll find a spreadsheet listing scheduled futures contract rollover dates for popular futures instruments.

What Is Futures Contract Rollover?

Remember, not all markets have specific roll dates. Some markets—such as equity index (E-mini & Micro E-mini) futures—have set roll dates on the CME’s website. But other instruments do not. Therefore, many of these are simply estimates for when the trading volume might begin to shift from one contract to the next. In most cases, it is preferred to trade the contract with the greatest volume.

A few things to keep in mind:

  • These are only estimates. Always check actual trading volume.
  • The workbook below has separate sheets going back to 2014. (Use the arrows on the bottom left to scroll the tabs.)
  • If any tab appears with blank cells, make sure to scroll it all the way to the left.
