Best Time to Post on YouTube in 2026: Complete Guide for Videos & Shorts

The best time to post on YouTube in 2026 is between 2-4 PM on weekdays for long-form videos and 12-3 PM or 7-9 PM for Shorts, with Wednesday through Friday consistently generating the highest engagement. Publishing 2-3 hours before your audience's peak viewing window gives YouTube's algorithm time to index, test, and start surfacing your video right when traffic surges. With over 2.7 billion monthly active users and 1 billion hours of video watched daily, getting your timing right can mean the difference between 10,000 views and 100,000 on the same content.

YouTube is not Instagram or TikTok. Videos can surface in Suggested, Browse, and Search for weeks, months, or even years after upload — a stark contrast to Instagram, where posts peak within hours (see our best time to post on Instagram guide). But that initial momentum window still matters enormously. According to Sprout Social's analysis of 2.7 billion engagements, posting during peak activity hours gives your content stronger early signals — more subscriber clicks, higher watch time, and better click-through rates — which the algorithm then uses to decide whether to push your video to a wider audience.

This guide breaks down optimal publishing times for both long-form videos and Shorts, with day-by-day data, niche-specific windows, and the exact strategy to find YOUR audience's best time.

Why Timing Matters on YouTube

YouTube's algorithm evaluates a video's performance in multiple stages. Understanding these stages explains why upload timing has a compounding effect on total views.

The First-Hour Snowball Effect

When you publish a video, YouTube shows it to a small subset of your subscribers and recent viewers. The algorithm measures:

1. Click-through rate (CTR): What percentage of people who see the thumbnail actually click?
2. Watch time: How long do viewers stay?
3. Engagement signals: Likes, comments, shares, "not interested" clicks
4. Session depth: Does the video lead to more YouTube watching or does the viewer leave?

If early viewers respond positively, YouTube pushes the video to more people via Browse (homepage) and Suggested (sidebar/end screen). If they don't, the video gets limited distribution and has to rely on Search traffic over time.

The implication: Getting 1,000 views in the first hour with high watch time is far more valuable than getting 1,000 views spread over 24 hours. Timing your upload to coincide with when your subscribers are online directly affects that first-hour performance.

The "Publish Before Peak" Strategy

This is the single most important timing concept on YouTube. According to data from SocialPilot and Hootsuite, you should not publish at the exact moment of peak viewership. Instead, publish 2-3 hours before peak traffic. Here's why:

1. Processing time: YouTube needs to fully process your video (encoding, thumbnail generation, metadata indexing)
2. Initial testing: The algorithm A/B tests your thumbnail and title on a small audience
3. Momentum building: Early subscribers watch and engage, generating positive signals
4. Peak surfacing: By the time peak traffic hits, your video already has enough data for YouTube to confidently recommend it

Example: If your audience peaks at 7 PM, upload at 4-5 PM. By 7 PM, YouTube has had 2+ hours to process, test, and build initial momentum — and now it can surface the video to a massive audience with confidence.

Long-Term vs. Short-Term: YouTube Is Different

Unlike Instagram or Facebook, where content dies within 24-48 hours, YouTube videos can generate views for years. According to vidIQ's algorithm analysis, the 2026 algorithm focuses on personalization and sustained viewer satisfaction rather than short-term performance spikes.

What this means for timing: Good timing gives your video a stronger launch, but exceptional content will eventually find its audience regardless. Think of timing as a multiplier — it amplifies quality content, but it can't save poor content.

Best Times for Long-Form Videos

Long-form YouTube videos (8+ minutes) require dedicated viewing time. People don't casually watch a 20-minute tutorial while waiting in line — they sit down with intent. This fundamentally shapes the optimal posting window.

Weekday Long-Form: 2-4 PM

The data consistently points to the early-to-mid afternoon as the strongest window for long-form uploads on weekdays:

• 2-4 PM gives the algorithm 2-3 hours of runway before the 6-9 PM prime viewing block when most audiences settle in for dedicated watching
• According to Sprout Social, videos posted Monday through Thursday at 1 PM receive the highest number of views
• RecurPost's analysis of 2M+ posts confirms the 2-4 PM weekday window as the single strongest upload time

Weekend Long-Form: 9-11 AM

Weekend viewing patterns shift dramatically:

• 9-11 AM is ideal because viewers have leisure time and are actively looking for content
• Saturday and Sunday mornings see high intent viewers — people choosing to watch YouTube rather than fitting it between tasks
• Longer watch sessions are common on weekend mornings, which sends strong retention signals to the algorithm

Why Evening Uploads Underperform

A common mistake is uploading at 7 PM thinking "that's when people watch." But at 7 PM, your video competes with content that was uploaded hours earlier and has already built momentum. The algorithm will favor those videos with proven performance data over your zero-view upload.

Bottom line: Upload at 2-4 PM on weekdays, 9-11 AM on weekends. Let the algorithm do its job in the hours between your upload and peak viewing.

Best Times for YouTube Shorts

YouTube Shorts operate on an entirely different consumption pattern than long-form videos. With 70 billion daily Shorts views globally, Shorts are consumed during quick mobile sessions — lunch breaks, commutes, waiting rooms, and pre-bedtime scrolling.

Primary Window: 12-3 PM

The lunch-hour mobile viewing spike is the single strongest window for Shorts:

• 12-1 PM: Lunch break scrolling — people grab their phones and scroll through the Shorts feed
• 1-3 PM: Post-lunch browsing, afternoon breaks, students between classes
• According to VidIQ's Shorts analysis, Shorts posted during peak mobile hours receive 40-60% more views in the first 24 hours

Secondary Window: 7-9 PM

The evening relaxation period drives the second-largest Shorts viewing spike:

• 7-9 PM: Post-dinner scrolling, winding down for the day
• 9-11 PM: Late-night mobile entertainment (especially strong on Fridays and Saturdays)

Shorts vs. Long-Form: The Core Difference

Important note: YouTube Shorts can resurface in the Shorts feed days or weeks after posting. A month-old Short can suddenly explode with 100K views because the algorithm tests it on a new audience segment. This makes timing less critical for Shorts than for long-form — but strong initial signals still help. If you're cross-posting short-form content, the optimal windows for TikTok differ significantly — see our best time to post on TikTok guide for a side-by-side comparison.

Day-by-Day Breakdown

Here's a detailed breakdown based on aggregated data from Sprout Social, SocialPilot, RecurPost, and SocialChamp.

Monday

Long-form: 2 PM | Shorts: 12 PM, 8 PM | Engagement level: Medium

Monday is the weakest weekday for YouTube engagement. People are adjusting to the work/school routine and have less leisure time. However, educational and productivity content often performs above average on Mondays as people look for motivation and how-to content to start the week.

Strategy: If you publish once per week, avoid Monday. If you publish daily, use Monday for lower-stakes content or repurposed Shorts.

Tuesday

Long-form: 2 PM | Shorts: 3 PM, 8 PM | Engagement level: High

Tuesday engagement picks up significantly. Viewers settle into their weekly routine and take more entertainment breaks. According to Sprout Social, Tuesday at 2 PM is one of the strongest individual time slots for long-form content.

Strategy: Strong upload day for tutorials, reviews, and educational content.

Wednesday

Long-form: 1 PM, 4 PM | Shorts: 2 PM, 9 PM | Engagement level: Highest (weekday)

Wednesday is consistently the strongest weekday for YouTube. Sprout Social's data shows a significant engagement peak at both 10 AM and 1 PM on Wednesdays. "Hump day" drives higher entertainment consumption as viewers seek midweek distraction.

Strategy: If you only upload once per week, Wednesday afternoon is your best bet for maximum first-48-hour performance.

Thursday

Long-form: 4 PM, 6 PM | Shorts: 3 PM, 8 PM, 10 PM | Engagement level: High

Pre-weekend energy kicks in on Thursday. Evening mobile usage spikes as people start mentally transitioning toward the weekend. According to SocialChamp, Thursday at 4 PM and 6 PM are prime slots, especially for entertainment and lifestyle content.

Strategy: Great day for entertainment, lifestyle, and gaming content that benefits from weekend carry-over views.

Friday

Long-form: 2 PM, 5 PM | Shorts: 3 PM, 6 PM, 9 PM | Engagement level: Highest

Friday combines high weekday traffic with weekend anticipation. Afternoon uploads perform exceptionally well because viewers have extended evening sessions. Gaming, entertainment, and vlog content sees peak performance on Fridays as audiences are in leisure mode.

Strategy: Publish your highest-production content on Friday afternoon for maximum 72-hour viewing window (Friday evening through Sunday).

Saturday

Long-form: 9 AM, 11 AM | Shorts: 11 AM, 7 PM, 9 PM | Engagement level: High

Saturday breaks from the weekday pattern entirely. Morning uploads work because viewers are awake, relaxed, and actively choosing to watch YouTube. RecurPost data shows Saturday engagement concentrated from late morning through the afternoon (11 AM - 4 PM).

Strategy: Upload long-form content by 9-10 AM to capture the full Saturday viewing window. Schedule Shorts for afternoon and evening mobile peaks.

Sunday

Long-form: 9 AM | Shorts: 12 PM, 8 PM | Engagement level: Medium

Sunday shows solid engagement through the afternoon but tapers in the evening as viewers prepare for Monday. According to Sprout Social, the best time to post on Sunday is 6 PM, though morning uploads still perform well for long-form due to the "publish before peak" strategy.

Strategy: Upload early (9 AM) to capture afternoon viewing. Avoid late-night Sunday uploads — your video will compete with Monday morning's fresh content.

Weekly Summary Table

All times are in your audience's local time zone. See time zone considerations below.

Niche-Specific Timing

Different audiences have different daily routines. A college student watching gaming content at midnight has nothing in common with a professional watching business tutorials at noon. Here are optimized posting windows by niche, based on data from SocialPilot, Plexorin, and creator community analysis.

Gaming

Best times: 4-6 PM weekdays, 10 AM-12 PM weekends, 8-11 PM daily Peak days: Friday, Saturday, Sunday

Gaming audiences skew younger and are most active after school/work and during late-night sessions. Friday evening through Sunday shows the highest gaming content consumption. Weekend mornings work well because gamers often have long Saturday viewing sessions.

Education & How-To

Best times: 10 AM-12 PM weekdays, 2-4 PM weekdays Peak days: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

Students and professionals search for educational content during study hours and work breaks. Midweek performs best because learners are in "productive mode." Avoid Friday evenings and weekends — people switch to entertainment content.

Tech Reviews & Tutorials

Best times: 8 AM, 12 PM, 6 PM weekdays Peak days: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

Tech enthusiasts browse during morning routines, lunch breaks, and after work. Product launches and review embargoes typically lift on Tuesday-Thursday mornings, making these peak discovery times. AI tools for YouTube can help optimize tech content production.

Entertainment & Vlogs

Best times: 3-5 PM weekdays, 7-10 PM daily Peak days: Friday, Saturday

Entertainment content peaks when viewers are in leisure mode. Friday afternoon through Saturday evening is the golden window. Vlogs and entertainment benefit most from the weekend carry-over effect — upload Friday afternoon, gain views through Sunday.

Fitness & Health

Best times: 6 AM, 10 AM, 7 PM weekdays Peak days: Monday, Tuesday, Sunday

Fitness audiences engage early morning (pre-workout planning), mid-morning (stay-at-home fitness), and evening (next-day workout prep). Monday is unusually strong for fitness because of "fresh start" motivation. Sunday evening also performs well as viewers plan their upcoming workout week.

Business & Finance

Best times: 8-10 AM weekdays, 12-1 PM weekdays Peak days: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

Professionals consume business content during morning routines and lunch breaks. Avoid evenings and weekends — business audiences switch to entertainment. LinkedIn cross-posting during these same hours amplifies reach. For LinkedIn-specific timing, see our best time to post on LinkedIn guide.

Cooking & Food

Best times: 10-11 AM, 4-5 PM, 7-8 PM daily Peak days: Saturday, Sunday

Cooking content aligns with meal planning: late morning (lunch prep), late afternoon (dinner planning), and evening (next-day planning or casual browsing). Weekends outperform weekdays because people have more time to cook elaborate recipes.

Time Zone Considerations

YouTube is a global platform. Your posting time strategy depends heavily on where your audience is located.

Single-Region Audiences

If 70%+ of your viewers are in one time zone region (e.g., US Eastern, UK, India), optimize entirely for that region:

• US Eastern (ET): Use the times in this guide as-is (most YouTube timing data is calibrated to ET)
• US Pacific (PT): Subtract 3 hours from recommended times
• UK (GMT/BST): The 2-4 PM ET window translates to 7-9 PM GMT — still effective for evening viewers
• India (IST): 7-9 PM IST (peak viewing) = 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM ET

Multi-Region Audiences

If your audience spans multiple time zones, target the overlap windows where the most viewers are simultaneously active:

• US East + West Coast: 2-4 PM ET (11 AM - 1 PM PT) catches both coasts during daytime
• US + UK: 12-2 PM ET (5-7 PM GMT) catches US lunch and UK evening
• US + India: Difficult to overlap — consider alternating upload times or focusing on your largest segment

How to Check Your Audience Geography

1. Open YouTube Studio → Analytics → Audience
2. Scroll to Top countries and Top cities
3. If one country represents 60%+ of views, optimize for that country's time zone
4. If views are split, use the "When your viewers are on YouTube" heatmap to find natural overlap windows

Use a social media scheduler to automatically convert times across zones and publish at the right local time for your audience.

How to Find YOUR Best Time

Generic timing data is a starting point. Your actual best time depends on your specific subscribers, niche, and content type. Here's how to find it using YouTube Studio Analytics.

Step 1: Check the Audience Heatmap

1. Open YouTube Studio → Analytics → Audience tab
2. Scroll to "When your viewers are on YouTube"
3. Study the purple heatmap — darker bands = more viewers online at that day and hour

This heatmap shows real data from YOUR subscribers and recent viewers. It's more valuable than any generic guide.

What to look for: Find the darkest bands (peak activity). Plan to upload 2-3 hours before those peaks.

Step 2: Audit Your Top Performers

1. Go to Analytics → Content
2. Sort by Views (last 90 days)
3. For your top 10 videos, note the upload day and time
4. Look for clustering — do your best videos share a common upload window?

Caveat: Correlation isn't causation. A video might have gone viral for content reasons, not timing. But patterns across 10+ videos are meaningful.

Step 3: Run a 4-Week Timing Test

Test one variable at a time:

• Week 1: Upload at 12 PM (your time)
• Week 2: Upload at 2 PM
• Week 3: Upload at 4 PM
• Week 4: Upload at 6 PM

Track for each video: Views in first 24 hours, CTR, average view duration, subscriber conversions.

Important: Keep content quality and topic comparable across weeks. You're testing timing, not content.

Step 4: Refine and Automate

Once you've identified your 1-2 best upload windows:

1. Build that time into your content calendar — consistency helps subscribers know when to expect new content
2. Use a YouTube scheduling tool to batch-upload and auto-publish at your proven best times
3. Re-check the audience heatmap quarterly — viewing patterns shift with seasons, time changes, and audience growth

Common YouTube Timing Mistakes

Mistake 1: Uploading at Peak Time Instead of Before It

The error: Publishing at 7 PM because "that's when everyone's watching YouTube."

Why it fails: At 7 PM, your video has zero views, zero watch time, and zero engagement signals. It's competing against videos uploaded at 2-4 PM that already have thousands of views and proven performance data. The algorithm will always favor the proven performer.

The fix: Upload 2-3 hours before your audience's peak. Give YouTube time to process, test, and build momentum so your video has data when peak traffic arrives.

Mistake 2: Using the Same Schedule for Videos and Shorts

The error: Publishing both long-form videos and Shorts at 3 PM because "that's my posting time."

Why it fails: Long-form and Shorts have fundamentally different consumption patterns. Long-form peaks during intentional sit-down viewing (afternoon/evening). Shorts peak during mobile micro-sessions (lunch breaks, commutes, bedtime). The same time rarely serves both.

The fix: Schedule long-form for 2-4 PM and Shorts separately for 12-1 PM or 7-9 PM. Use a cross-posting tool that lets you set different schedules per content type.

Mistake 3: Ignoring Your Own Analytics

The error: Following a blog's recommended times without checking YouTube Studio's "When your viewers are on YouTube" heatmap.

Why it fails: Your audience might be 60% in India (peak at 9 PM IST = 11:30 AM ET) or 80% night owls who peak at 11 PM. Generic advice doesn't account for your specific viewer behavior.

The fix: Check the audience heatmap in YouTube Studio monthly. Use YOUR data as the primary guide and generic advice as a fallback for new channels.

Mistake 4: Changing Your Schedule Every Week

The error: Posting at 2 PM Monday, 6 PM Wednesday, 9 AM Friday, and constantly shifting.

Why it fails: Consistency matters on YouTube. When you post at the same time regularly, subscribers develop a habit of checking for your content. YouTube also learns when your audience is most responsive to YOUR channel specifically.

The fix: Pick 1-2 consistent upload times and stick with them for at least 4-6 weeks before evaluating. Consistency compounds — your 8th Wednesday 2 PM upload will perform better than your 1st because subscribers expect it.

Mistake 5: Publishing at 3 AM "So It's Ready by Morning"

The error: Uploading overnight so the video is "live" when people wake up.

Why it fails: YouTube's initial testing phase needs real viewers. At 3 AM, almost nobody is watching. The video sits with minimal data for 6-8 hours, and by the time morning traffic arrives, YouTube hasn't had enough signal to know whether to recommend it.

The fix: Use YouTube's built-in schedule feature or a YouTube scheduler to queue the video at night and auto-publish at your optimal afternoon time.

Mistake 6: Over-Optimizing Minutes Instead of Hours

The error: Agonizing over whether 2:14 PM or 2:47 PM is better.

Why it fails: The difference between 2 PM and 3 PM is negligible. The difference between 2 PM and 2 AM is enormous. Timing operates in broad windows, not precise minutes.

The fix: Get the hour right (afternoon for long-form, lunch/evening for Shorts) and spend the rest of your optimization energy on thumbnails, titles, and content quality.

Mistake 7: Not Accounting for Video Processing Time

The error: Clicking "Publish" at 2 PM on a 4K, 45-minute video that takes 30+ minutes to process.

Why it fails: YouTube can't recommend a video that hasn't finished processing. Your "2 PM upload" doesn't actually go live until 2:45 PM, missing your target window.

The fix: Upload videos as "Unlisted" or "Scheduled" well in advance. Let YouTube process fully, then set the publish time to your optimal window. The video scheduling workflow eliminates this problem entirely.

Mistake 8: Treating Every Day the Same

The error: Uploading at 2 PM every day without adjusting for weekday vs. weekend patterns.

Why it fails: Weekend viewing patterns are fundamentally different. Saturday morning at 9 AM outperforms Saturday at 2 PM for long-form, while the opposite is true on weekdays. Ignoring this leaves views on the table.

The fix: Use different schedules for weekdays (2-4 PM) and weekends (9-11 AM) for long-form content. Check the day-by-day breakdown above.

Getting Started Checklist

Here's an action plan to implement optimal YouTube timing in the next 7 days:

Day 1: Audit your current data

• Open YouTube Studio → Analytics → Audience → "When your viewers are on YouTube"
• Screenshot the heatmap and identify your top 3 peak windows
• Check Analytics → Audience → Top countries to confirm your primary time zone

Day 2: Analyze your top performers

• Sort Content analytics by views (last 90 days)
• Record the upload time for your top 10 videos
• Note any patterns in day-of-week or time-of-day

Day 3: Set your schedule

• Choose 1-2 consistent upload times based on your heatmap (2-3 hours before peak)
• If you post Shorts separately, set a different schedule optimized for mobile peaks
• Block these times in your content calendar

Day 4: Set up scheduling

• Upload your next video as "Scheduled" at your chosen optimal time
• If using Shorts, schedule at a separate mobile-optimized time
• Consider a social media scheduler if you also post to Instagram, TikTok, or LinkedIn

Days 5-7: Prepare content pipeline

• Batch-create content so you never have to "rush publish" at a bad time
• Build a 1-2 week content buffer so scheduling is always possible
• Set up UTM tracking to measure traffic from YouTube to your website

Ongoing (monthly):

• Re-check the audience heatmap — viewing patterns shift with seasons and audience growth
• Review which upload times correlate with highest first-24-hour views
• Adjust your schedule based on data, not feelings

FAQs

Does upload time really affect YouTube views?

Yes, but it's one factor among many. Uploading during your audience's active hours can boost first-24-hour views by 20-60% compared to off-peak times, according to VidIQ. However, YouTube's algorithm can surface great content days or weeks later regardless of upload time. Think of timing as a multiplier: it amplifies good content but can't save bad content.

Is there a difference between posting time for Shorts vs. regular videos?

Absolutely. Long-form videos perform best at 2-4 PM on weekdays when viewers are preparing for evening sit-down sessions. Shorts perform best at 12-1 PM (lunch break mobile scrolling) and 7-9 PM (evening wind-down). The consumption contexts are fundamentally different — intentional viewing vs. casual scrolling. Using the same schedule for both leaves performance on the table.

What's the worst time to upload to YouTube?

Before 9 AM on weekdays and between 1-6 AM any day. These windows have the lowest viewer activity, meaning your video accumulates minimal data during the critical first hours. The algorithm has very little signal to work with, resulting in slower distribution. Sunday late evening is also weak because your video competes with fresh Monday content.

Should I upload at the same time every week?

Yes, consistency matters. When you post at the same time regularly, your subscribers learn when to expect new content and are more likely to watch immediately. This creates a reliable first-hour engagement signal that the algorithm can learn from. Stick with your chosen time for at least 4-6 weeks before evaluating results.

How do I handle audiences in multiple time zones?

Focus on where the majority of your viewers are located (check YouTube Studio → Analytics → Audience → Top countries). If 60%+ are in one region, optimize for that time zone. If your audience is genuinely split, post during overlap windows — for example, 2 PM ET catches US East Coast afternoon and UK evening simultaneously. A social media scheduling tool can help manage multi-timezone publishing.

Do YouTube Shorts need to be posted at specific times?

Shorts timing matters less than long-form timing because YouTube's Shorts algorithm actively resurfaces old Shorts that perform well. A Short posted at a "bad" time can still go viral a week later. That said, posting during mobile peak hours (12-1 PM, 7-9 PM) gives your Shorts a stronger initial signal, which can accelerate the algorithm's decision to push it to the wider Shorts feed. For the complete breakdown, see our YouTube Shorts timing guide.

How often should I check and adjust my posting schedule?

Review your YouTube Studio audience heatmap monthly and do a deeper timing audit quarterly. Viewing patterns shift with seasons (summer vs. school year), time changes (daylight saving), audience growth (new subscribers from different regions), and platform changes. Don't change your schedule based on one week's data — look for sustained trends over 4+ weeks.

Can I schedule YouTube videos in advance?

Yes. YouTube's built-in scheduler lets you upload videos as "Scheduled" and set a future publish date and time. This eliminates the need to be online at your optimal posting time. For creators managing multiple platforms, tools like PostEverywhere's YouTube scheduler let you schedule YouTube videos alongside Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and other platforms from a single calendar dashboard.
