Robinhood To Let Users Trade Stocks Around The Clock On Weekends

Robinhood said it will allow 24-hour weekend trading of US stocks, according to reporting from Investing.com on the September 29 session. The move builds on the company's push, discussed at its HOOD Summit '26 event, to extend trading into what it calls "living hours" — the times when people actually have free time to check markets, rather than the traditional 9:30am-to-4pm window. The shift matters because it removes one of the last structural gaps between retail and institutional trading access. Weekend and after-hours trading has expanded steadily since exchanges began piloting overnight sessions, and Robinhood's move signals it wants to be the default venue for that activity rather than cede it to newer platforms. What remains unclear is which stocks will be eligible at launch and how liquidity will hold up when trading volume is thin. Robinhood has not detailed a launch date or specified whether the same order types available in regular hours will carry over to the weekend sessions.
