Statamic 5 end of life: what happens on December 31, 2026
Statamic 5 security fixes end in December 2026. Bug fixes already ended in March. What still runs, what stops, and which upgrade path fits.
These notes are from Segment Holdings. They are for people running a Statamic 5 site, including sites still on Laravel 10 or 11 and PHP 8.2. Dates were checked on November 4, 2026 against the official pages linked from each article. Statamic’s support policy says its dates can change.
When you are ready to do the work, start with the free Statamic 6 readiness checklist. The Upgrade Kit for Statamic 6 is the paid runbook and scripts for that same path. Done-for-you help starts on Services.
PHP 8.2 end of life for Laravel and Statamic sites: why to jump to 8.4
PHP 8.2 security support ends December 31, 2026. Statamic 6 runs on 8.3+, but Statamic 7 is listed as 8.4+, so 8.4 or 8.5 avoids a second upgrade.
Upgrading Statamic 5 on Laravel 10 or 11 to Statamic 6: the order that works
Laravel 10 to 11 to 12 on Statamic 5, then Statamic 6. Sanctum, searchables, multisite, and static builds are what a 200 homepage misses.
