when is the inauguration

In the United States, Inauguration Day for the president is set by law as January 20 every four years, unless that date falls on a Sunday, in which case the public ceremony is held on January 21.

Next presidential inauguration

• The most recent presidential inauguration was on January 20, 2025, when Donald Trump was sworn in for his current term.

• Because presidential terms are four years, the next U.S. presidential Inauguration Day is scheduled for January 20, 2029.

• There is no U.S. presidential inauguration in 2026; it is not an inauguration year under the four‑year cycle.

A few extra context points

• Inauguration Day events (swearing‑in, address, parade, balls) are traditionally centered at the U.S. Capitol and along Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C.

• The ceremony has been held on January 20 since the 20th Amendment took effect, moving it from the previous March 4 date to shorten the “lame duck” period.
