More about YouTube timing
What is the best time to post on YouTube?
The best time to post on YouTube is 10 AM on Sunday, audience local time. The hour is stated in the audience's local time, which is how YouTube engagement is measured.
What are the best days to post on YouTube?
Sunday, Tuesday and Monday are the strongest days to post on YouTube; Thursday and Wednesday are the weakest, though posting there still works and engagement just dips.
Are YouTube posting times in my timezone or my audience's?
Your audience's. A peak of 10 AM on Sunday means that hour on a clock where your audience is, so if you are somewhere else you have to convert it, which is what the per-country pages on this site do. Get the conversion wrong and the hour you press publish is not the hour they see.
Which days matter most on YouTube?
Sunday, Tuesday and Monday carry the strongest engagement. Thursday and Wednesday are the days to deprioritise if you only post a few times a week. The single best slot of the week is 10 AM on Sunday, and it sits inside a wider 9 AM to 11 AM and 12 PM to 1 PM stretch on Sunday in the audience's local time.
Why these hours for YouTube?
Long-form YouTube peaks in the morning on weekdays and around midday at the weekend, with Sunday the strongest day for a new upload. Source: Aggregated from several reputable public analyses of engagement across billions of posts, published by major social scheduling platforms.
