When is Super Tuesday 2028?
Super Tuesday 2028 has not been officially scheduled yet. Based on historical patterns it will likely fall in early March 2028, but party rules and state decisions will set the exact date.
Super Tuesday is the informal name for the single day in the primary calendar when the largest number of states simultaneously hold their presidential primaries or caucuses. It is not a fixed date written into law; its timing depends on decisions made by individual states and ratified against each party's delegate rules.
In recent election cycles, Super Tuesday has fallen in the first two weeks of March. If 2028 follows a similar pattern, expect Super Tuesday sometime around March 3-10, 2028 - but this will not be confirmed until states certify their primary dates, typically in 2027.
The day matters enormously because winning multiple large states on a single day can effectively decide a nomination or create an insurmountable delegate lead. States compete to hold their primaries as early as possible to maximize influence, but party rules penalize states that vote too far ahead of the official window.
Track the official DNC and RNC websites, along with state secretary-of-state offices, for confirmed Super Tuesday participants as the 2028 calendar takes shape.

The 2028 primary calendar is not finalized. Based on historical patterns, primaries and caucuses are expected to begin in January or February 2028, with most states voting by June.
Primary voters choose delegates who will represent them at the party's national convention. The candidate who wins enough delegates - typically a majority - becomes the party's nominee.
A delegate is a person authorized to represent their state at the national party convention and cast a vote toward selecting the presidential nominee. Primary voters are choosing these delegates, not the nominee directly.
