FAQ
Questions about US CPI Release Dates
When is the next CPI report?
The next scheduled US CPI release is September 11, 2026 at 8:30 AM Eastern Time. The Bureau of Labor Statistics can revise its calendar, so this page follows the official schedule.
What time is US CPI released?
The Bureau of Labor Statistics normally publishes the CPI report at 8:30 AM Eastern Time.
What month does each CPI release cover?
The CPI report normally describes prices in the previous reference month. Schedule rows show a “Data for” label when the Bureau of Labor Statistics provides that reference month.
What is the difference between CPI and Core CPI?
Headline CPI covers the full consumer basket. Core CPI excludes food and energy because their prices can be more volatile. Both measures are published in the same scheduled CPI report.

Yes. Completed releases for the current year remain visible alongside the next CPI date and published future dates.
Can CPI releases update automatically in my calendar?
Yes. A subscribed Econ Calendar feed updates compatible Google, Apple and Outlook calendars when scheduled dates change.
