Complete guide: Will Node.js 26 enter Active LTS by October 28, 2026?

Event Details

The official Node.js schedule lists 26.x as Current and sets October 28 as its Active LTS start. Opening probability is 94%: the official date is explicit, the line is active and LTS transitions are routine; the main risks are a schedule delay or last-minute technical issue. Yes if official Node.js records show 26.x entered Active LTS by 23:59 UTC October 28; otherwise No. Later backdating does not alter the status recorded at the deadline.
