when is the next budget uk
The next major UK‑wide fiscal event is the Spring Forecast on 3 March 2026 , when the Chancellor will present updated economic and fiscal projections to Parliament; the full “Budget” is now normally held in the autumn.
Key dates to know
- Spring Forecast 2026:
- Date: 3 March 2026.
- Purpose: Interim update on the economy and public finances, not the main tax‑and‑spending Budget.
- Autumn Budget pattern:
- The last Autumn Budget was held on 26 November 2025 , delivered by Chancellor Rachel Reeves.
* Government signals indicate the main Budget is now expected in the **autumn each year** , with the spring event downgraded to a forecast/update rather than a full Budget.
So, “when is the next Budget?”
- If you mean the next big fiscal statement where the Chancellor sets out plans and an official forecast: that is the Spring Forecast on 3 March 2026.
- If you mean the next full UK Budget (like the Autumn 2025 Budget), the exact 2026 autumn date has not yet been formally announced , but guidance from financial calendars suggests it is typically set for October/November 2026.
In short: expect the Spring Forecast on 3 March 2026 , then a full Autumn Budget in late 2026 , with the precise autumn date still to be confirmed.
