The Federal Reserve calendar and exact event-contract rules require separate checks. As checked August 6, 2026, the Fed lists eight tentative 2027 meetings, beginning January 26-27, with the first scheduled decision date on January 27.
By Kalshi View Editorial Team
Primary sources checked: the Federal Reserve FOMC calendar, Kalshi's official Fed meeting series endpoint, and the CFTC designation record for KalshiEX. The Federal Reserve calendar and Kalshi records are separate sources. The Fed does not operate or endorse Kalshi markets.
The Federal Reserve says the FOMC holds eight regularly scheduled meetings each year, plus other meetings as needed. Its calendar, last updated July 29, 2026, shows these meeting windows and scheduled decision dates:
| Meeting window | Decision date used in this guide | Projection materials |
|---|---|---|
| January 26-27 | January 27 | No calendar asterisk |
| March 16-17 | March 17 | Summary of Economic Projections |
| April 27-28 | April 28 | No calendar asterisk |
| June 8-9 | June 9 | Summary of Economic Projections |
| July 27-28 | July 28 | No calendar asterisk |
| September 14-15 | September 15 | Summary of Economic Projections |
| October 26-27 | October 27 | No calendar asterisk |
| December 7-8 | December 8 | Summary of Economic Projections |
Every date remains tentative. The Federal Reserve says each meeting date is confirmed at the immediately preceding meeting. Traders should recheck the official calendar instead of treating this static 2027 FOMC meeting calendar as final.
For this guide, the decision-date column uses the second day of each Federal Reserve meeting window; Kalshi's dated event records align with those second days. The official Fed page checked here provides meeting dates, but it does not establish one universal 2027 announcement time. A prior year's release schedule should not be treated as proof of a 2027 release clock.
March, June, September and December are marked as meetings associated with a Summary of Economic Projections. That label identifies scheduled projection materials. It does not forecast a rate cut, hold, hike, target range, vote, dot plot result or chair statement.
The practical use of the calendar is planning. Traders can schedule official-source checks before each meeting, confirm whether the tentative dates have changed, and then compare the confirmed meeting with the exact Kalshi event and market rules. The broader mechanics are covered separately in the Federal Reserve rate predictions and Kalshi strategy guide.
In an API snapshot checked August 6, 2026, Kalshi's open-event response contained eight 2027 Fed meeting records. They corresponded to January 27, March 17, April 28, June 9, July 28, September 15, October 27 and December 8.
The exact January event response contained five nested market records reporting active status at that snapshot time. One nested record used differing title and primary-rule wording, so this guide does not reconcile or interpret that discrepancy. Status fields observed on August 6 do not guarantee that an event remains listed, available or eligible for every user.
Current availability, prices and exact settlement rules must come directly from Kalshi's markets page and the applicable event pages. Before trading a Kalshi Fed decision market, check:
The CFTC filing lists Kalshi as a designated contract market. That designation alone does not establish any specific event's current availability, rules, settlement, access or user eligibility.
This page is a static calendar and source checklist, not a live probability or price tracker. Recheck the 2027 FOMC meeting calendar when the preceding meeting confirms each date, then inspect the current Kalshi record and rules near the relevant decision.
Calendar and market-note updates may also be posted through the @Kalshi_market channel. Any channel post should remain secondary to the Federal Reserve calendar and the live Kalshi rules.
As checked August 6, 2026, the Federal Reserve lists meetings for January 26-27, March 16-17, April 27-28, June 8-9, July 27-28, September 14-15, October 26-27 and December 7-8. The scheduled decision dates are the second day of each window. Every meeting date remains tentative until confirmed at the immediately preceding meeting.
The Federal Reserve calendar associates the March 16-17, June 8-9, September 14-15 and December 7-8 meetings with a Summary of Economic Projections. That designation identifies scheduled projection materials, not a predicted policy result. Traders should verify the calendar again because all 2027 meeting dates remain tentative until confirmed at the immediately preceding meeting.
An official Kalshi API response checked August 6, 2026 contained eight 2027 Fed meeting event records, one for each scheduled decision date. The January response also contained five nested market records reporting active status at that time. This dated snapshot does not guarantee current availability, eligibility or unchanged rules. Check Kalshi directly for the latest event status and terms.
Traders should confirm the meeting date on the Federal Reserve calendar, then read the exact Kalshi contract rules. Check the meeting identity, rate definition, settlement source, outcome structure, close time, expiration terms, fees and eligibility requirements. Do not assume an API status, prior meeting schedule or short market title establishes the current rules for a 2027 contract.
