Best Time to Post on LinkedIn (2026)

Updated 2026-06-13

The short answer: post on weekday mornings, ideally Tuesday to Thursday between 8am and 11am in your audience’s local time. Activity peaks as people start their workday and dips in the evenings and on weekends.

Best times by day

DayBest window (local)Notes
Monday9–11amPeople easing into the week; decent reach.
Tuesday8–11amOne of the strongest days.
Wednesday8–11amConsistently high engagement.
Thursday8am–12pmStrong, with a small lunchtime bump.
Friday8–10amDrops off after midday.
Weekend—Generally low for professional content.

These are starting points, not rules. Your audience’s timezone and habits matter more than any global average.

How to find your best time

  1. Post consistently for 3–4 weeks at varied times.
  2. Check analytics — compare impressions and engagement per post.
  3. Double down on the windows that work for your audience.
  4. Mind timezones — if your audience is global, target the timezone where most of them are.

Make the post itself work harder

Timing gets you seen; the post earns the engagement. Lead with a strong hook above the “…see more” cut, add emphasis with the Text Formatter, and track results with the Engagement Rate Calculator.
