Tesco has confirmed its opening times for Easter 2026, revealing that most Superstores will operate on Good Friday and Easter Monday with reduced hours. Specifically, Tesco Superstores will close at 6pm on Easter Monday, while the Tesco Extra on Park Road in Liverpool will be open from 7am to 10pm on Good Friday.

However, all Liverpool Superstores will remain closed on Easter Sunday, aligning with the majority of large Tesco stores across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, which will also close for the day. This closure is in accordance with regulations that restrict shops over 280 square metres from opening on Easter Sunday.

For those looking for convenience, Tesco Express stores will have more flexible hours, opening as early as 6am and closing as late as 11pm on Easter Sunday. This allows customers to access essential items despite the closures of larger stores.

On Easter Monday, most large Tesco Express stores are expected to operate from 8am to 6pm, providing a window for shoppers to stock up after the holiday weekend. The reduced hours on these key dates reflect Tesco’s commitment to adhering to local regulations while still offering service to its customers.

Historically, large shops in England and Wales have been permitted to open for only six consecutive hours on Sundays, specifically between 10am and 6pm. This regulation extends to Easter Sunday and Christmas Day, when large stores must close.

As the Easter holiday approaches, shoppers are advised to plan their visits accordingly, especially if they rely on larger Tesco Superstores. The adjustments in hours are designed to balance customer needs with compliance to holiday regulations.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding any potential changes to these hours as the holiday approaches, but Tesco is expected to maintain its current schedule unless further announcements are made.
