The <a href=\"https:\/\/mirchawala.com\/acca\/\">ACCA course<\/a> lasts two to three years, with sessions in March (<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2\u20136 March<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), June (<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1\u20135 June), September (7\u201311 September), and December (7\u201311 December) with quarterly tests. Every session is scheduled to handle multiple papers,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ensuring that candidates can advance along the path they have selected. Candidates may take up to eight different exams annually, with a maximum of four exams per session.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ACCA exam dates also include different exam types, such as on-demand CBEs and session CBEs&#8221;. ACCA exams are computer-based, which are included in the schedule along with specific subjects for each day. In order to reduce conflicts, ACCA also constantly examines its calendar, announcing any changes well in advance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Candidates can advance at their own speed because of the ACCA exam schedule&#8217;s modular design, which gives them the chance to finish all of the exams in two to three years cut. With four exams per session, six months is not realistic without many exemptions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> section gives you all the important ACCA exam dates for 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Key ACCA Exam Dates for 2026<\/b><\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Exam Session<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Entry Open<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Exam Dates<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Results Release<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">March 2026<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4 November 2025<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2\u20136 March, 2026<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11 April, 2026<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">June 2026<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3 February 2026<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1\u20135 June, 2026<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">13 July, 2026<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">September 2026<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5 May 2026<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7-11 September 2026<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">19 October, 2026<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">December 2026<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4 August 2026<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7\u201311 December 2026<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">18 January, 2027<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><b>ACCA Exam Timetable 2026: Paper-by-Paper<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ACCA exam dates vary as per the specific paper level.

Applied Skills and Strategic Professional exams are sat on fixed days that week, while Applied Knowledge exams (BT, MA, FA and LW) can be booked on demand at a computer-based exam centre.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the last date to enter the December 2026 ACCA exams?<\/h3>\n<p>Standard entry for the December 2026 session closes on 2 November 2026, and late entry closes on 9 November 2026, both at 23:59 GMT.

Results appear in your MyACCA account, and you can also sign up to receive them by email or text message.<\/p>\n<h3>How many ACCA exams can I take in one session?<\/h3>\n<p>You can take up to four exams in a single session and up to eight exams in a calendar year. Plan your sessions around these limits, especially if you want to finish before the 2027 changes.<\/p>\n<h3>Are ACCA Applied Knowledge exams on demand?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Business and Technology (BT), Management Accounting (MA), Financial Accounting (FA) and Corporate and Business Law (LW) are available as on-demand computer-based exams. You book them through MyACCA at an approved centre, subject to centre availability.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the last ACCA exam session before the 2027 changes?<\/h3>\n<p>June 2027 is the final sitting of the current Applied Skills and Strategic Professional exams. Students then move to the future ACCA Qualification, and the first sitting of the new Expertise and Strategic Professional exams takes place in September 2027.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ACCA Exam December 2026: Quick Answer What Date Standard entry deadline 2 November 2026 Late entry deadline 9 November 2026 Exam dates 7\u201311 December 2026 Results release 18 January 2027 \u00a0 The right preparation journey for the ACCA exam begins with knowing the ACCA exam dates, exam entry deadlines, ACCA paper dates, and specific dates [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":55716,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[697,2161,454],"class_list":["post-48862","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-acca-exam-dates","tag-acca-exam-dates-in-uk","tag-acca-in-uk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mirchawala.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48862","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mirchawala.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mirchawala.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mirchawala.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mirchawala.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48862"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/mirchawala.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48862\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":55727,"href":"https:\/\/mirchawala.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48862\/revisions\/55727"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mirchawala.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55716"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mirchawala.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48862"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mirchawala.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48862"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mirchawala.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48862"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
