As Easter approaches, Tesco has revealed its opening times for the holiday weekend in 2026, with notable changes for various store formats. Tesco Superstores will operate on Good Friday and Easter Monday, albeit with reduced hours, while most Superstores are set to close at 6pm on Easter Monday.
In a significant move, all Liverpool Superstores will remain closed on Easter Sunday, aligning with regulations that restrict large shops from operating on this day. However, Tesco Extra on Park Road in Liverpool will be an exception, opening from 7am to 10pm on Good Friday.
On Easter Sunday, Tesco Extra stores will be closed, but Tesco Express locations can open as early as 6am and close as late as 11pm, providing some flexibility for customers seeking last-minute items.
The majority of large Tesco stores in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland will adhere to the traditional closure on Easter Sunday, which is mandated for shops over 280 square metres. These stores can only open for six consecutive hours between 10am and 6pm on Sundays, but must close on Easter Sunday and Christmas Day.
On Easter Monday, most large Tesco Express stores are expected to operate from 8am to 6pm, allowing shoppers to stock up after the holiday. This schedule reflects Tesco’s commitment to serving customers while adhering to legal restrictions.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any last-minute changes to these hours, but the current schedule provides a clear outline for shoppers planning their Easter weekend. As the holiday approaches, customers are encouraged to check local store listings for the most accurate information.
