when is government shutdown 2025

The next U.S. government shutdown is expected to begin at midnight between September 30 and October 1, 2025, if Congress and the President do not agree on funding by then. Congress has not yet passed the necessary appropriations bills or a continuing resolution to fund the government for the fiscal year starting October 1. Without such funding, non-essential federal government functions will shut down. Efforts to avoid the shutdown are ongoing, but the deadline remains imminent. A temporary funding bill was passed by the House to extend funding through November 20, but it was blocked in the Senate. The situation remains unresolved as of late September 2025.
