We’ve heard your requests for faster API access to Ads features available in the Google Ads UI. We will accelerate our launch timeline to have Google Ads API monthly releases, except for during the end of year holiday period.
We will increase the number of major releases from 3 per year to 4 per year. The remaining releases will be minor releases, only adding incremental new non-breaking features. We have also adjusted the sunset schedules to avoid extra version migrations that will burden the API developers. Each major release will now be available for one year after the release.

With the new timeline, the tentative release schedule for 2026 will be as shown in the following table. Please keep in mind that these dates are only estimates and may be adjusted going forward. Additionally, releases may be added, removed, or switched between major and minor versions.
