The SEC approved CBOE’s plan to begin extended trading hours for select single-stock options on July 13, 2026. The initial rollout will cover roughly 20 highly liquid names, including all seven largest US tech stocks. CBOE also plans to launch 23x5 US stock trading on its EDGX exchange in December to broaden round‑the‑clock access. Eligibility for extended-hours options requires at least 150,000 contracts open interest, market cap above $50 bln and average daily share volume exceeding 10 mln.
