Reddit releases 2026 marketing calendar

A woman stands in front of a red wall looking to the side holding a bag.

Reddit has released its 2026 Marketing Moments Calendar, providing brands with a comprehensive guide to key events and cultural moments throughout the year.

While the calendar is primarily focused on the US, there is plenty of overlap with global marketing moments – take the Met Gala in May, Pride in June or Wimbledon in July, for example.

This builds on the marketing insights we’ve already shared for 2026, including creator marketing trends, beauty predictions, and Censuswide’s Voice of a CMO report, highlighting what CMOs are prioritising next year.
