PostgreSQL End of Life (EOL) Dates & Support Timeline

Q: What is the end-of-life date for PostgreSQL?

The next PostgreSQL version reaching EOL is 14 on November 12, 2026. See the full table above for all version EOL dates.

Q: When is the PostgreSQL support end date?

The next PostgreSQL support end date is November 12, 2026, when version 14 reaches end of support. Each version has its own support end date — see the table above for every version's date.

Q: What is the latest supported version of PostgreSQL?

The latest active version of PostgreSQL is 18.4. Always verify against the table above as support windows can change.

Q: Does PostgreSQL track end-of-life by point release (e.g. PostgreSQL 18.1, PostgreSQL 18.2)?

No — PostgreSQL end-of-life dates apply to the entire 18.x release series, not individual point releases. A point release like PostgreSQL 18.1 or PostgreSQL 18.2 shares the same EOL date as PostgreSQL 18. Security patches stop for the entire 18.x line on that date, regardless of which patch version you are running. Check the table above for EOL dates by major version series.

What does PostgreSQL end of life mean for your organization?

When a version of PostgreSQL reaches end of life, the maintainers stop issuing security patches. Vulnerabilities discovered after this date are publicly disclosed on the National Vulnerability Database, exploit code appears on GitHub, and your systems remain permanently exposed.

The CVE blind spot: Most vulnerability scanners check for known CVEs but do not flag the accumulation of unpatched vulnerabilities in EOL software. With a zero-day, nobody knows about the vulnerability. With EOL software, the vulnerability is public — listed, rated, and often weaponized — but no patch will ever exist. This is the most dangerous gap in enterprise security posture.

Organizations running EOL PostgreSQL should treat it as a vulnerability class in their risk register, apply compensating controls (network segmentation, enhanced monitoring, access restriction), and prioritize migration to a supported version.

Extended Support Options

If you cannot migrate immediately, extended support vendors provide continued security patches for EOL PostgreSQL versions. This is a bridge, not a permanent solution — plan your migration in parallel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the end-of-life date for PostgreSQL?

The next PostgreSQL version reaching EOL is 14 on November 12, 2026. See the full table above for all version EOL dates.

When is the PostgreSQL support end date?

The next PostgreSQL support end date is November 12, 2026, when version 14 reaches end of support. Each version has its own support end date — see the table above for every version's date.

What is the latest supported version of PostgreSQL?

The latest active version of PostgreSQL is 18.4. Always verify against the table above as support windows can change.

What happens when PostgreSQL reaches end of life?

When PostgreSQL reaches end of life, the vendor stops issuing security patches. Any CVEs disclosed after the EOL date accumulate indefinitely with no patch path — creating an ever-growing attack surface that most vulnerability scanners do not flag.

How do I check if I'm running an EOL version of PostgreSQL?

Check your current version against the table above. If your version's EOL date has passed, you are running unsupported software. You can also use the endoflife.ai Stack Scanner to check your entire dependency file at once.

Is there extended support available for EOL PostgreSQL versions?

Some vendors offer extended support for EOL software. Contact the original vendor or check with enterprise support providers for options.

Does PostgreSQL track end-of-life by point release (e.g. PostgreSQL 18.1, PostgreSQL 18.2)?

No — PostgreSQL end-of-life dates apply to the entire 18.x release series, not individual point releases. A point release like PostgreSQL 18.1 or PostgreSQL 18.2 shares the same EOL date as PostgreSQL 18. Security patches stop for the entire 18.x line on that date, regardless of which patch version you are running. Check the table above for EOL dates by major version series.
