Weekly Options
The options exchanges list equity options (including ETF options) having approximately one week to expiration following their initial listing. These options are called "Weekly Options Series" or "Weeklys". Because these options have such a short expiry, the options exchanges have the ability to list different series from week to week, but please note that Weeklys are not eligible to be listed for each and every week of a month. For the convenience of market participants, OCC publishes a list of newly added and newly delisted Weekly Options Series for equity options. This list is compiled from sources believed reliable, but certain Weeklys could be included in the list or omitted from the list in error. Also, changes in listing decisions by the exchanges may not be immediately known or reflected in the list. You should always check with your brokerage firm or an exchange directly if you have any questions about the availability of any particular Weekly Options Series.
The Weekly Options Spreadsheet has been updated to include two weekly option summary lists. The left list is the most current and applies to all series expiring with the next eligible expiration date, highlighted at the top of the table. The right list applies to the previous week's active weekly options. They are presented side-by-side for easy comparison.
