On 21st July 2026, London Stock Exchange (LSEG) 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 from Monday to Friday, giving global investors greater flexibility to respond to market events, access liquidity across time zones and manage risk. The venue, which will be built on LSEG’s trusted financial market infrastructure, complements existing market structures by preserving the resilience and integrity of regular trading hours, while opening new opportunities for participation outside the traditional trading day in the UK. 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. ETPs are a natural starting point, given London’s established position as a leading international ETP hub and the strong global demand for products that provide efficient exposure to markets worldwide.
The venue intends to draw on elements of central limit order book and request-for-quote functionality to support price transparency and on-demand liquidity, with the flexibility to expand into equities as the next step.
