A-Level Results Day is a big moment for students across the UK, and one of the most common questions every summer is simple: when is it?
A-Level Results Day 2026 date
A-Level Results Day 2026 is on Thursday 13 August 2026.
This is the official release date for A-Level and other Level 3 results in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
What time are A-Level results released?
- Schools and colleges: usually from 8:00am (either in person or online)
- UCAS Hub: updates from 8:00am
It’s normal for university offers to update on UCAS at the same time — or even before you see your grades.
Are all exam boards released on the same day?
Yes. AQA, Edexcel (Pearson), OCR, and WJEC all release A-Level results on the same day.
What happens next?
On Results Day:
- Students collect or view their results
- UCAS updates with university decisions
- Clearing opens for those without a confirmed place
If your results aren’t what you expected, you still have options — including Clearing, remarks, and resits.
Final thing to remember
Results Day matters, but it doesn’t define you. Whatever your grades, there are always next steps.
