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.
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.

Risk Disclosure:
Futures and Forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one’s financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
Hypothetical Performance Disclosure:
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points, which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program, which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect trading results.
