when is uk budget
The main UK Budget is scheduled for Wednesday 26 November 2025, with the Chancellor’s spring economic and fiscal update (the “Spring Forecast”) set for 3 March 2026.
Key UK Budget dates
- The next full UK Budget has been formally confirmed for Wednesday 26 November 2025.
- This will be the second Budget delivered by Chancellor Rachel Reeves.
- A separate Spring economic and fiscal forecast (often treated as a lighter “mini‑Budget” style event) is planned for 3 March 2026.
Typical timing on the day
- Budget day statements usually start around 12:30 pm UK time, immediately after Prime Minister’s Questions in the House of Commons.
- The speech tends to last about an hour, followed by several days of debate and then a Finance Bill to turn measures into law.
Extra context
- The Autumn Budget sets out the UK government’s main tax and spending plans for the coming year and beyond, alongside forecasts from the Office for Budget Responsibility.
- The 3 March 2026 Spring forecast will provide an interim update on the economy and public finances, without formally reassessing performance against the main fiscal rules.
