ACCA Exam Dates 2026: Timetable, Deadlines and Results
Updated 26 June 2026
Quick answer: ACCA's published 2026 session timetable confirms March 2-6, June 1-5, and September 7-11. As of this update, the next published session is September 2026: standard entry closes 27 July 2026, late entry closes 3 August 2026, exams run 7-11 September 2026, and results are released 19 October 2026. ACCA has not yet added the full December 2026 timetable to its main Important Dates and Exam Timetables pages, so exact December deadlines should remain marked as pending until ACCA publishes them.
All listed ACCA deadlines are 23:59 UK time. Always confirm your exact booking, exam centre and docket details inside myACCA before the deadline.
ACCA 2026 Exam Calendar Overview
ACCA runs four main exam sessions each year: March, June, September, and December. March and September sessions offer Applied Skills and Strategic Professional exams with limited variants, while June and December offer all variants of those exams except certain exams that remain on-demand only. ACCA states that all listed deadlines are set at 23:59 UK time.
For students planning after the June sitting, the September window is the next fully published session. March and June 2026 exam windows have already passed, but their dates remain useful for result checks, comparison, and annual planning.

This session has passed. Keep it on the page because users still search for March 2026 dates, deadlines and results, but make clear that it is no longer an upcoming booking window. This session offered Applied Skills and Strategic Professional exams with limited variants.
March 2026 Paper Timetable
| Day | Applied Skills | Strategic Professional |
|---|---|---|
| Monday, 2 March | AA | AAA, ATX |
| Tuesday, 3 March | TX | SBL, AFM |

June 2026 Exam Details
June 2026 Session
Exam period: 1-5 June 2026
Exam entry opening date: 3 February 2026

Late exam entry deadline: No late entry available in this session
Exam results: 13 July 2026
Exam cycle: 1 April 2026 to 30 June 2026
The June exam window has passed, but the result date remains important. June is one of the broadest ACCA sessions for paper availability. ACCA notes that all exam variants are available during June and December except BT, MA, FA and certain LW variants, which are on-demand only.
Critical June warning: ACCA explicitly states there is no late entry for the June 2026 session. If a student missed the standard deadline, they should plan for a later session rather than look for a late June booking window.
June 2026 Paper Timetable
| Day | Applied Skills | Strategic Professional |
|---|---|---|
| Monday, 1 June | AA | AAA |
| Tuesday, 2 June | TX | SBL, ATX |
| Wednesday, 3 June | PM | APM |

Late exam entry deadline: 3 August 2026
Exam results: 19 October 2026
Exam cycle: 1 July 2026 to 30 September 2026
This is the next fully published ACCA session after June 2026. Students should treat the 27 July 2026 standard deadline as the main target because late entry is more expensive and leaves less time to fix account, centre or payment issues.

|---|---|---|
| Monday, 7 September | AA | AAA |

December 2026 Exam Details
December 2026 Session
ACCA confirms that it runs four exam sessions each year, including December. However, the checked ACCA Important Dates and Exam Timetables pages did not yet show the full December 2026 session table, entry deadlines, result date, or paper-by-paper timetable on 26 June 2026.
Current status: December 2026 is part of ACCA's annual exam cycle, but exact December 2026 dates should stay pending until ACCA publishes them on its official pages. This avoids ranking a page with guessed deadlines.
Registration Deadlines and Booking Rules
Registration and amendments should be handled through the ACCA booking system and myACCA. ACCA advises students to book during the standard entry window to access the lowest exam fees and to avoid centre availability issues.
- Log in to myACCA and open the session exam booking area.
- Select your session: March, June, September, or December.
- Choose your papers carefully to avoid timetable clashes.
- Book before the standard deadline wherever possible.
- Download your attendance docket once released.
- Check remote exam availability because remote session exams are no longer a universal option from March 2026 onward.
Remote exam rule for 2026: From March 2026, ACCA says remote session exams are being withdrawn and will only remain available in countries where ACCA does not have exam-centre provision. Students should check myACCA rather than assume a home-based session exam is available.
ACCA Exam Fees 2026
Use this section as fee guidance, not a universal fee table, because ACCA's fees page uses a country or region selector. Fees can vary by location, exam level, entry period, and special-centre requirements.
Official fee lookup
For final pricing, open ACCA's fees page and select your country or region. This is the safest source for exam entry fees, annual subscription fees, exemption fees, and special-centre charges.
September 2026 examples
On the checked ACCA GB fees page, September 2026 Applied Skills fees show £160 standard entry and £409 late entry. Strategic Business Leader shows £282 standard and £467 late entry. Treat these as ACCA GB examples, not global prices.
Avoid late fees
Late entry can cost far more than standard entry. For September 2026, aim to complete booking by 27 July 2026 rather than waiting until the 3 August 2026 late deadline.
Fee note: Students should always use the official ACCA fees page for their own region. Session exam fees, subscription fees, exemptions and special-centre costs may differ by location and are subject to ACCA updates.
