The U.S. House of Representatives is next scheduled to return to legislative session on Monday, January 12, 2026, meeting at noon for morning hour and 2:00 p.m. for legislative business, with votes postponed until 6:30 p.m.

House back in session

  • The published schedule shows the House reconvening on Monday, January 12 for its next working day on the floor.
  • On that day, members meet at 12:00 p.m. for morning hour and 2:00 p.m. for legislative business, with recorded votes planned for the evening (after 6:30 p.m.).

How to check future dates

  • The House leadership maintains an online daily and weekly schedule where you can see when they’re in or out of session, plus what votes are planned.
  • Because the calendar can change (for example, during shutdowns or emergencies), it is best to re-check the official schedule close to the date you care about.

Quick context

  • For 2026, leadership has laid out a calendar with 29 full or partial weeks in session , with extended recesses around August, October, and major holidays.
  • These plans are always “subject to change,” so special circumstances can still shift when the House is actually on the floor.
