.NET 10, the next major version of .NET, will follow the annual release cadence. It is a Long-Term Support (LTS) release, set to launch during .NET Conf, an annual virtual developer event, scheduled from Nov 11-13, 2025. Support will last for 3 years from release.

This release is packed with a broad set of features. The theme is enhanced security, performance, diagnostics, and developer productivity.

Consult these articles on .NET 10 and C# 14 features:

The STS support policy has recently changed: from .NET 9 onwards, support will last for 2 years instead of 18 months. Support for both .NET 8 LTS and .NET 9 STS will continue until Nov 2026. Full details here.

It’s to be noted that .NET MAUI does not have concept of STS/LTS. Each major version is supported for 18 months after its release, so support for .NET MAUI 9 will be available only till mid-May, 2026. The official support policy is here.

.NET Conf 2024 - Annual Virtual Developer Event - Release of .NET 9

November is set to be an exceptionally significant month for .NET developers globally, as a new version of .NET will be officially released during its annual event, .NET Conf. Similar to previous years, this year’s event will also be conducted virtually, allowing participation online. The highly anticipated .NET 9 is scheduled for release during this conference, which will take place over three days from Tue, Nov 12, 2024, to Thu, Nov 14, 2024. Please mark your calendars accordingly.

Quite like .NET 7, .NET 9 is also a short-term support (STS) release, which will be supported for 18 months till mid-May 2026. Even-numbered releases are LTS whereas odd-numbered are STS. More details on the release lifecycle are here. The support for .NET 6 (the previous LTS release) ends (more details here), with .NET 7 already out of support, and .NET 8, the current LTS release, has another 2 years of support till early Nov 2026.

Due to the underlying external dependencies, the support policy of .NET MAUI differs significantly from .NET, each major release will be supported only for 18 months. So, if you’re using .NET MAUI 8, support will cease by mid-May 2025 (in another 6 months). Hence, it’s necessary to plan for your app migration to .NET MAUI 9. An article has already been published detailing the comprehensive features of .NET MAUI 9.
