The Fed meeting schedule is set to include eight meetings in 2027, with one devoted solely to strategy rather than a policy rate vote, Federal Reserve Chair Warsh said on October 28, 2026. He projected that the number of policy-focused meetings would fall to six in 2028.
Key Takeaways
- The 2027 plan calls for eight meetings overall, including one strategy-only session.
- Warsh projected six policy-focused meetings in 2028; that change has not yet taken effect.
Fed meeting schedule and the current calendar
Under the plan described by Warsh, seven of the eight meetings in 2027 would be policy-focused. That would leave fewer scheduled policy sessions than the Federal Open Market Committee’s usual eight regular meetings a year.
The Fed’s meeting calendar lists eight tentative dates for 2027 and notes that the committee can hold other meetings as needed. The calendar does not identify a strategy-only session or confirm the projected reduction in 2028.
What changes for policy decisions
A strategy-only session would be separate from a meeting with a scheduled policy rate vote. The 2028 figure is a projection, not a completed change to the committee’s meeting pattern.
Next milestone
The Fed calendar lists its next meeting for December 8–9, 2026.
