Chat on WhatsAppOf the ACCA exam dates for 2027, only the March session is out. Entry opened on 10 November 2026. Standard entry closes on 1 February 2027 and late entry on 8 February 2027, both at 23:59 UK time. The exams run from 1 to 5 March 2027 and results come on 12 April 2027. As on 13 November 2026, ACCA had not published the June 2027 dates.
Enter by 1 February 2027: after that every Strategic Professional paper costs £430, and June 2027 is the last sitting before the qualification changes.
TL;DR
- March 2027: standard entry closes 1 February, late entry 8 February, exams 1 to 5 March, results 12 April.
- Late entry adds £239 to SBR or an option, £162 to SBL and £236 to an Applied Skills exam.
- June 2027 dates are not out. June is the last sitting of the current Applied Skills and Strategic Professional exams.
- BT, MA and FA are on demand at a centre, outside the session. Finish them by mid-July 2027.
What are the ACCA exam dates for March 2027?
Dates from ACCA important dates and entry deadlines; the day counts from 13 November 2026 are mine.
ACCA March 2027 calendar (date, day, what happens, days left):
- 10 November 2026, Tuesday: exam entry opened.
- 18 January 2027, Monday: December 2026 results come out (66 days).
- 1 February 2027, Monday: standard entry closes; last day to amend an entry or ask for additional support (80 days).
- 8 February 2027, Monday: late entry closes (87 days).
- About 22 February 2027: exam docket (my estimate; ACCA says about three weeks after standard entry closes).
- 1 to 5 March 2027, Monday to Friday: exams (108 days to the first one).
- 9 March 2027: exam centre complaints due.
- 16 March 2027: mitigating circumstances notifications due.
- 12 April 2027, Monday: results (150 days).
- 21 April 2027: administrative review requests due.
Every deadline is 23:59 UK time. The UK is on GMT in February, so 23:59 on 1 February is 5:29 a.m. IST on 2 February. Enter during Indian working hours, so a failed card payment can still be retried at the standard fee.
Which papers sit in March?
Only Applied Skills and Strategic Professional exams, in limited variants. There are no Applied Knowledge session exams.
Is the paper-wise timetable out?
No. As on 13 November 2026, ACCA's exam timetable page shows only the December 2026 exams (7 to 11 December). I am not going to guess which paper falls on which March day.
March 2027: enter by 1 February (late 8 February), sit 1 to 5 March, results 12 April.
What is the ACCA exam entry deadline, and how much more does late entry cost?
The standard deadline is Monday 1 February 2027 and the late deadline is Monday 8 February 2027. ACCA has no early-entry tier for March 2027, so standard is the cheapest. These are ACCA's fees for India; the extra is my subtraction.
March 2027 exam fees for India (standard to 1 February, late to 8 February, extra for late):
- Applied Skills exams: £151, £387, +£236.
- SBR: £191, £430, +£239.
- Each option (AFM, AAA, APM, ATX): £191, £430, +£239.
- SBL: £268, £430, +£162.
Take SBR, SBL and one option. At the standard fee that is £191 + £268 + £191 = £650. In the late week the same three papers cost 3 x £430 = £1,290, which is £640 more.
EPSM is £83 and the 2027 annual subscription is £146. CBE centres set their own Applied Knowledge fees. ACCA charges in pounds, and I have not converted them, because your card's rate on the day decides the rupee amount.
As on 13 November 2026, ACCA's India booking page says some booking services are down, with all back on 18 November 2026.
Standard entry by 1 February is the lowest price there is; entering SBR, SBL and one option late costs £640 more.
Has ACCA announced the June 2027 exam dates?
No. As on 13 November 2026, ACCA's important-dates page lists only the September 2026, December 2026 and March 2027 sessions. I am not predicting June dates.
ACCA's transition timeline does mark June 2027 as the final sitting of the current Applied Skills and Strategic Professional exams. On ACCA's important-dates page, June sessions carry all exam variants, while March has limited variants.
June 2027 has no published dates yet, only its status as the last sitting of the current structure.
Why do the March and June 2027 sittings matter for the 2027 changes?
September 2027 is the first sitting of the new structure. Entry for it opens in May 2027 and closes in August 2027, with results in October 2027. Papers you pass before then carry credit: SBR to S1, SBL to S2, AFM to SCF, AAA to SAA, APM to SPI and ATX to STA.
Under ACCA's transition rules, SBR + SBL + one option passed by June 2027, with EPSM done, completes the Strategic Professional exams. With only SBR and SBL by then, you need one more option exam later.
ACCA's exam progression rules allow four exams a session and eight distinct exams a calendar year.
My view as a CA, not an ACCA rule: a CA who still needs SBR, SBL and an option can sit two of them in March 2027 and the third in June 2027, well inside the cap. A March fail can then be resat in June. Our page on CA to ACCA: exemptions and papers left shows which papers a CA usually still sits.
You have two sittings left, March and June 2027, of up to four exams each, to pass SBR, SBL and one option.
Applied Knowledge and LW: on demand, with a mid-July 2027 cut-off
BT, MA, FA and LW (GLO or ENG) are on-demand computer-based exams. In India you sit them at an ACCA CBE centre, any time of year. The result shows on screen at the end and reaches myACCA within 72 hours.
ACCA asks current students to finish BT, MA, FA and EPSM by mid-July 2027 and LW by July 2027; exact days are not fixed. The new Knowledge exams run on demand from July 2027.
These papers do not wait for March: finish them by mid-July 2027.
How should you plan mocks backwards from 1 March 2027?
This is our suggested plan, not an ACCA rule. From 13 November 2026 you have 108 days to the first exam day. It uses the Part-wise Test Series (5 part tests + 2 full tests) per paper.
- 16 November to 20 December: finish the syllabus and write part tests 1 to 3.
- 21 December to 17 January: part tests 4 and 5.
- 18 January: December 2026 results. Decide your March papers that day.
- By Monday 1 February: enter at the standard fee.
- 1 to 7 February: full test 1, timed at 3 hours 15 minutes, typed in Word or Excel and uploaded as one PDF; checked within 48 hours.
- 8 to 14 February: rework the weak answers from that checked copy, then write full test 2.
- About 15 to 19 February (my estimate): the SBL pre-seen comes out in Exam Planner two weeks before your SBL day. You get a clean copy in the exam, not your annotated one.
- About 22 February: docket. Check your local start time on it.
- 22 to 28 February: review both checked mocks, no new chapters.
- 1 to 5 March: exams.
To see the checking first, write one paper through the free ACCA mock exam.
Have both full tests checked and reworked by mid-February; the last week is for review only.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1.What is the last date to apply for the ACCA March 2027 exams?
Monday 1 February 2027 at the standard fee, and Monday 8 February 2027 with the late fee, both at 23:59 UK time. In India that is 5:29 a.m. on the next day. A student entering SBR alone pays £191 by 1 February and £430 in the late week.
Q2.When will the ACCA March 2027 results come out?
On Monday 12 April 2027, 38 days after the last exam day. Administrative review requests are due by 21 April. If you sat in December 2026, those results come on 18 January 2027, two weeks before March standard entry closes.
Q3.When is the ACCA June 2027 exam?
ACCA had not published the June 2027 dates as on 13 November 2026. It has confirmed that June 2027 is the final sitting of the current Applied Skills and Strategic Professional exams. If you plan to split papers across March and June, enter March first and watch ACCA's important-dates page for June.
Q4.Can I sit BT, MA or FA in the March 2027 session?
No. March has only Applied Skills and Strategic Professional exams. BT, MA and FA are on-demand exams that you book with a CBE centre in India on a date that suits you. ACCA wants them finished by mid-July 2027.
Q5.Is there an early-entry discount for ACCA March 2027?
No. ACCA lists only standard and late fees for March 2027, so the standard fee up to 1 February is the lowest. For SBL that is £268, against £430 in the late week.
Q6.Can I take ACCA exams from home in India?
No. In India, ACCA session exams and on-demand exams are both taken at a centre. Session exams moved to centres from March 2026 wherever centres exist. Your March 2027 docket gives your local start time.
Q7.How many ACCA exams can I take in March 2027?
Up to four in one session, and eight distinct exams in a calendar year. A CA with SBR, SBL and two options left could enter all four in March. Under ACCA's transition rules, SBR + SBL + one option passed by June 2027, with EPSM done, completes the Strategic Professional exams. So I would sit two in March and one in June, each with its own two full mocks.
