How we reached this date
The last 8 gaps between Yoast SEO releases ran 14 to 15 days, typically 14 days. The latest line, 28.8, came out on 27 October 2026.
Counting on from there, and ignoring past gaps that are already shorter than the time that has passed, the most likely day is 10 November 2026, inside a window from 8 November 2026 to 12 November 2026.
The 70% is the share of comparable past releases that landed in a window like this, reduced a little because the sample is small. It is not a promise.
What would move it
An official announcement, a release-candidate version appearing in the code, or WordPress.org listing 28.9 as the current version. Each new signal is added to the timeline below and the window is recalculated. When WordPress.org lists 28.9 as current, this page switches to launch facts.
