How Django support works
Django publishes a feature release about every eight months. Every third one, the x.2 releases, is a long-term support (LTS) release with security fixes for about three years. The other releases are supported until a little after the next feature release ships.
Most teams run LTS releases and move from one LTS to the next. That only works if you leave enough time: the jump spans three feature releases with their deprecations, and third-party apps need to support the new version too.
The table lists every Django release with its release date, latest patch version, end of mainstream support and end of security support.

Django EOL questions
Which Django versions are still supported?
As of 5 Nov 2026: Django 6.1 (until 31 Dec 2027), Django 6.0 (until 30 Apr 2027), Django 5.2 (until 30 Apr 2028).
When is the next Django end of life?
Django 6.0 reaches its end of life on 30 Apr 2027 (in 176 days). After that date it gets no more security fixes.
How do I check which Django version I run?
Run python -m django --version. Check every server and container image, not only your laptop: production often runs an older version than development.
Which Django versions are LTS?
The x.2 releases (for example 4.2 and 5.2). They are marked LTS in the table.
How do I upgrade Django?
Fix all deprecation warnings on your current version first (python -Wd manage.py test), then move one feature release at a time and check that your third-party apps support the target version.
