Do ETFs trade on weekends?
Typically no. Most ETFs trade only when their exchange is open, which is usually Monday to Friday.

Most ETFs trade on stock exchanges during normal market sessions, and those exchanges are typically closed on weekends. That means you usually can't execute ETF trades on Saturday or Sunday.
Some brokers allow you to place orders on weekends that queue for execution when markets reopen. The fill will depend on your order type and the market conditions when trading resumes.
If you're placing an order outside market hours, consider using a limit order so you control your price. Weekend news can move markets, and a market order entered early can sometimes execute at a price you didn't expect.
