You can already pre-order ACOTAR 6 in some places, but big retailers are still catching up, and the official release date is October 27, 2026.

Quick Scoop: When can you pre-order ACOTAR 6?

  • Sarah J. Maas has officially announced ACOTAR 6 for October 27, 2026 and ACOTAR 7 for January 12, 2027.
  • Her official site lists both as “coming soon” with those dates confirmed.
  • At least one indie bookstore (Storyline) already has a live pre-order page for ACOTAR 6 and is even planning a midnight release party.
  • Some major retailers like Amazon and Barnes & Noble were initially showing only books 1–5, but coverage notes that pre-orders are rolling out and not fully live everywhere yet.

So, practically: “When can I pre-order ACOTAR 6?”

Right now, you have two likely scenarios:

  1. Immediately via indie bookstores
    • Shops like Storyline are already taking pre-orders for ACOTAR 6 with the confirmed date (hardcover, October 27, 2026).
 * They’re also organizing **midnight release parties** , and pre-ordering through them can get you early event info and pickup at midnight.
  1. Soon through big retailers
    • Coverage notes that, as of early March 2026, Amazon and Barnes & Noble only listed books 1–5, despite the dates being public.
 * That means the **official pre-order listings for ACOTAR 6 and 7 are expected to go live on major platforms shortly after the March 2026 announcements** , but may not be visible everywhere yet.

In fandom terms: the book is real, the dates are locked in, and pre-orders have technically begun—just not uniformly across all stores.

What we know so far (for fans tracking every breadcrumb)

  • Confirmed release dates
    • ACOTAR 6: October 27, 2026.
* ACOTAR 7: **January 12, 2027**.
  • Format and intention
    • Maas has described these books as parts of one massive story , effectively spread across multiple physical volumes because it’s too long for one book.
* She’s emphasized wanting the back‑to‑back releases so readers don’t wait a year between “parts” of the same overarching arc.
  • Early pre-order example
    • Storyline Bookshop lists “A Court of Thorns and Roses 6” with an October 27, 2026 date and open pre-orders right now, plus a hardcover box set of the first five books if you want matching editions.

Mini “forum-style” take

“When can I pre order ACOTAR 6?” Right now, if you’re willing to use an indie shop that already has it listed; otherwise, you’re in the limbo window where the date is public, but some big stores haven’t flipped the pre-order switch yet.

If you want to be first in line

  • Check Sarah J. Maas’s official site listing to confirm the dates, then follow through to any linked retailers once they appear.
  • Look up independent bookstores advertising ACOTAR 6 pre-orders and midnight events; those are currently ahead of some large chains.
  • Keep an eye on Amazon/B &N listings over the next days and weeks, since outlets have already reported that the books and dates are official.

TL;DR: You can technically pre-order ACOTAR 6 now through certain indie bookstores, with a wide rollout to major retailers expected soon, all ahead of the October 27, 2026 release.
