Extended Long-Term Support (ELTS) for TYPO3 v12: Presale starts 1 April 2026
Prepare for the end of TYPO3 v12 LTS free support on 30 April 2026. Consider extending your current system's life with ELTS for critical security updates and bug fixes.
As TYPO3 v12 LTS approaches the end of its free support on 30 April 2026, it’s time to plan your next steps. While upgrading to TYPO3 v13 or preparing for v14 may be the right move for many, not every project can transition immediately.
Extended Long-Term Support (ELTS) provides up to four additional years of critical security updates and bug fixes, ensuring your installation remains secure and compliant while you define your upgrade path.
The ELTS presale will open 1 April 2026, giving you the opportunity to secure continued support before community maintenance ends. Keep reading to explore your options, or set a reminder to head over to my.typo3.org to get started.
Why Extend Your Support?
Every TYPO3 LTS release comes with three years of free community support, providing regular security updates and maintenance throughout that period. Once this phase ends, the next step is clear: either move to a newer version or extend the lifecycle of your current installation with Extended Long-Term Support (ELTS), adding up to four more years of security and stability.
If you are responsible for maintaining a TYPO3 v12 LTS installation, ELTS ensures your project remains secure and compliant beyond 30 April 2026, without forcing an immediate upgrade. For agencies, it offers a structured and cost-effective way to support multiple client installations while maintaining reliability and planning upgrades on your own timeline.
Remember: The fourth year of ELTS support is exclusively available to official TYPO3 Partners. Learn more
