Drupal latest version & end-of-life dates
Drupal currently has 3 supported releases and 18 that have reached end of life. The newest is Drupal 11.4, released Jul 1, 2026, now at 11.4.9. The next end-of-life date is Dec 16, 2026, when Drupal 11.3 stops getting updates. New releases come out about every 3 months, and each is supported for about 1 year.
Brandon's take
We moved our site off Drupal when the Drupal version we were on reached end of life and became a security risk. Instead of upgrading Drupal, we switched to WordPress, because our leadership preferred how easy WordPress is to use.
