The White House ballroom is expected to open around September 2028. That timing was stated by Trump in May 2026 and repeated in later reporting as the targeted opening date.

Timing details

  • The reported schedule says the ballroom is ahead of schedule and expected to be completed by September 2028.
  • Another outlet also described September 2028 as the target opening, near the end of Trump’s second term.
  • The White House’s 2025 announcement said the project would begin in September 2025 and be completed before the end of Trump’s term, which aligns with that later target.

What that means

In practical terms, the current expected completion date is late summer 2028 , not sometime earlier in 2026 or 2027. The date could still shift if legal or construction issues change the schedule, since the project has already faced court challenges.
