London Stock Exchange today announced plans to launch London Stock Exchange 24 (LSE 24), a new 24/5 trading venue to support the next generation of digital, algorithmic and agentic trading. LSE 24 is designed to support near-continuous trading [Note 1] from Monday to Friday, giving global investors greater flexibility to respond to market events, access liquidity across time zones and manage risk. It will operate separately from the London Stock Exchange’s Main Market, which will continue to operate its existing trading hours. LSE 24 will be available for client testing by the end of 2026, with Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) launching as the first asset class in H1 2027, subject to regulatory approval. “By integrating with LSEG’s digital markets infrastructure, LSE 24 will help support deeper liquidity, greater efficiency and broader participation in our markets, reinforcing London’s position as a leading global financial centre.”
