Best times and days to post on LinkedIn

Posting when your audience is active can help a strong post gain early engagement. Use the time above as a starting point, then compare reach, clicks and engagement across several posts in your own analytics.

Tips for posting on LinkedIn

  • Aim for the start of the workday, lunchtime and the late-afternoon wind-down.
  • Tuesday to Thursday is the core window; Monday mornings and Friday afternoons are weaker.
  • B2B content lives longer than on other platforms, so a strong post keeps earning for days.

These windows are a benchmark starting point. Pair them with the full best-time overview for every platform, then test against your own analytics.

Sources: windows aggregated from publicly reported engagement data by Instagram Insights, TikTok Analytics, X Analytics, LinkedIn Analytics, Meta Business Suite Insights and YouTube Analytics.
