Every ETH delivery listed in 2026

ETH trades 12 delivery months in 2026 (F, G, H, J, K, M, N, Q, U, V, X, Z). Dates are computed from the exchange rule rather than stored. The engine counts Monday to Friday and holds no CME holiday table, so a date next to a public holiday can be one day off the exchange calendar.

The letter in a contract symbol is its delivery month: F = January, G = February, H = March, J = April, K = May, M = June, N = July, Q = August, U = September, V = October, X = November, Z = December. The digit that follows is the year.

The rule that sets these dates

Trading terminates at 4:00 p.m. London time on the last Friday of the contract month.

When the volume moves between these months

Crypto futures at CME expire monthly and settle against a reference rate rather than a physical asset. Liquidity concentrates in the front month and thins quickly once the roll has passed.

What one tick of ETH is worth

The minimum price fluctuation is 0.5, which is $25.00 per contract on a multiplier of 50. A full point is $50.00. These are the values the app itself trades on, so the rows of a ETH footprint and the P&L on a ETH position come from the same numbers.
