ACCA Exam Dates 2026
Check the published ACCA 2026 exam sessions, standard and late-entry deadlines, result dates, fee-planning notes and paper order before booking your next sitting.
The checked ACCA pages confirm the March 2026, June 2026 and September 2026 session timelines. ACCA also runs a December session each year, but this page does not guess later December 2026 deadlines where the checked official important-dates page does not show the full detailed table.
Quick answer:
The published ACCA 2026 session weeks are 2-6 March 2026, 1-5 June 2026, and 7-11 September 2026. The corresponding published result dates are 11 April 2026, 13 July 2026, and 19 October 2026.
The June 2026 session has no late entry, so students planning June should treat 16 April 2026 as the real booking deadline. All listed ACCA deadlines close at 23:59 UK time.
Fees are not one universal global table. Use the correct ACCA fee page for your market before paying, then confirm your final exam timing in myACCA and on your exam attendance docket.
This page is for ACCA students who need a reliable 2026 planning view: session weeks, entry deadlines, results dates, fee categories, paper order and booking steps. It keeps the calendar separate from final local exam arrangements because your docket and myACCA account are still the final source for the exams you personally booked.
Use the session calendar first, then check which papers are session-based, confirm whether your chosen sitting has the variant you need, and only then pay the market-specific fee. This order prevents the most common ACCA planning mistakes: missing the standard deadline, assuming every session has late entry, using a copied fee from the wrong country, or relying on a generic timetable instead of your own docket.
The page also includes related RevisionTown accounting, finance and professional-exam resources so you can move from timetable checking into study planning without losing context.
ACCA exam dates 2026: published session calendar
Deadline rule: ACCA deadlines close at 23:59 UK time. If you are booking from another time zone, do not leave entry until the final evening.
The key fix for this page is accuracy. The June 2026 session does not have a late-entry fallback, and the checked public ACCA important-dates page gives detailed timelines through September 2026 rather than a full December deadline table. The page therefore keeps December guidance conservative and directs students back to ACCA or myACCA for later-session release details.

ACCA runs four sessions a year, including December. Use December as a planning target if it suits your study cycle, but confirm exact later-session entry dates and results details on ACCA or in myACCA before making a booking decision.
ACCA exam fees 2026
ACCA fees are market-sensitive. The safest advice is to budget by fee category and then confirm the exact amount on the official ACCA fee page for your country or region.
Budgeting rule for 2026
Budget in layers: registration, annual subscription, exam entry, Ethics and Professional Skills Module, exemptions if relevant, and any local centre or remote-exam costs. Students who only budget for the paper fee often underestimate the full-year cost.
How to book ACCA exams in 2026
Choose your target session
Start with March, June, September or December based on your paper mix and study time.
Check paper and variant availability
Use myACCA to confirm that your chosen paper and variant are available in the sitting you want.
Confirm your market-specific fee
Use the ACCA fee page for your country or region before paying.
Book before the standard deadline
Do not depend on late entry. June 2026 has no late-entry period.
Download your attendance docket
Your docket ties the session timetable to your actual exam entry, centre and local timing.
Prepare exam-day admin
Complete remote system tests where required and keep valid photo ID ready for exam day.
On-demand CBEs vs session exams
Not every ACCA paper uses the same calendar. Some papers are on-demand CBEs, while others are tied to the quarterly session exam timetable.
ACCA exam results 2026
Results dates should be added to the same calendar as your booking deadlines. They affect rebooking, progression and review decisions.
Which ACCA sitting should you target?
March
Best if you studied in late 2025 and your paper/variant is available.
June
Strong option for broader variant availability, but no late entry in 2026.
September
Good second-half option if your chosen paper route fits a limited-variant session.
December
Useful year-end target, but confirm later detailed dates before booking.
