Not yet official. The ACL Rolling Review dates table gives January 2027 as the final ARR submission window for ACL 2027, but no exact day has been announced and the ACL commitment date is still listed as TBA. Treat it as a planning estimate, not an official date.

Where is ACL 2027 held?
ACL 2027 will be held in Kyoto, Japan. ACL 2027 takes place August 17-22, 2027. Venue and travel details are published on the official ACL site as they are confirmed.
ACL 2027 is the 65th Annual Meeting of the ACL. Because ACL reviews through ACL Rolling Review, there is no single ACL paper deadline: authors submit to a monthly ARR cycle and then commit the reviewed paper to ACL. The ARR dates table gives January 2027 as the final ARR submission window for ACL 2027 but leaves the commitment date blank, and the ACL 2027 site itself still lists the ARR submission deadline, commitment deadline, notification and camera-ready dates as TBA. The month shown here is the ARR submission window as published; no exact day has been announced. Workshops run August 21-22, 2027.
What is ACL?
ACL, the Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics, is the most prestigious natural-language-processing conference. It reviews through ACL Rolling Review (ARR), so commitment deadlines follow monthly ARR cycles.
ACL 2027 frequently asked questions
When is the ACL 2027 submission deadline?
The ACL 2027 paper submission deadline is January 2027, Anywhere-on-Earth (AoE). The ACL 2027 call for papers had not been published at the last review, so this date is projected from the previous ACL cycle. Confirm it on the official call for papers before planning around it.
Where is ACL 2027 being held?
ACL 2027 will be held in Kyoto, Japan. The conference runs August 17-22, 2027.
Has the ACL 2027 call for papers been released?
Not as of the last review on August 28, 2026. The ACL Rolling Review dates table gives January 2027 as the final ARR submission window for ACL 2027, but no exact day has been announced and the ACL commitment date is still listed as TBA.
What time zone does the ACL 2027 deadline use?
ACL uses Anywhere-on-Earth (AoE, UTC-12), like most AI conferences. An AoE deadline has not passed until the date is over everywhere on the planet, so you effectively have until 11:59pm on that date in the UTC-12 time zone. Every countdown on OpenCurious is computed in AoE.
Where is the official ACL 2027 call for papers?
There is no ACL 2027 call for papers yet. When it is published it will appear at https://2027.aclweb.org/, which is also where ACL posts whatever has been decided about 2027 so far. OpenCurious tracks the date but is not affiliated with ACL; the official site always wins if the two disagree.
