Date-sensitive calendar references on this page were checked on April 25, 2026. Calendar math is useful for planning, but listed contracts and exchange calendars should still be verified before production workflows run.

SPXW listing and settlement behavior should be checked against current Cboe SPX product specifications before production use.
