Odoo 19 is the latest major version of Odoo. It was released in October 2025 at the annual Odoo Experience event in Brussels, following Odoo's predictable one-major-version-per-year cadence. As of June 2026, the three officially supported versions are Odoo 17, Odoo 18, and Odoo 19 — and the next release, Odoo 20, is expected around October 2026 if the annual schedule holds.
That one-paragraph answer covers the search query. The rest of this guide covers what most teams actually need next: which versions are still supported and for how long, how Community and Enterprise versioning differ, whether your business should upgrade now or wait, and what the upgrade path looks like in practice. We implement and migrate Odoo commercially, and we ship every module in our marketplace for v17, v18, and v19 — so the version question lands on our desk weekly.
Key Takeaways
- Odoo 19 is the current latest major version, released October 2025 at Odoo Experience
- Odoo follows a strict annual release cadence — one major version every October since Odoo 14 (2020)
- Odoo officially supports only the 3 most recent major versions: 17, 18, and 19 as of mid-2026
- When Odoo 20 ships (expected around October 2026), Odoo 17 falls out of official support
- Community and Enterprise share the same version number and release date — Enterprise adds features, hosting options, and the official upgrade service
- Running an unsupported version means no security patches and no official migration scripts — the upgrade cost grows every year you wait
- Skipping versions is normal: most migrations we run are 2–3 version jumps (e.g., 15 to 18, 16 to 19)
- ECOSIRE ships all marketplace modules for v17, v18, and v19 with per-version licensing, so module availability should not block your upgrade decision
Odoo version history: every release since 2014
Odoo renamed itself from OpenERP in 2014 and has shipped a major version every year since. The October release date became consistent from Odoo 14 onward, timed to the Odoo Experience conference.
| Version | Release date | Status (June 2026) | Notable for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Odoo 13 | October 2019 | End of life | Last version with non-stored compute fields by default |
| Odoo 14 | October 2020 | End of life | Major UI refresh, data cleaning app |
| Odoo 15 | October 2021 | End of life | New website builder, faster JS framework groundwork |
| Odoo 16 | October 2022 | End of life | Owl 2 frontend framework, big accounting overhaul, major speed gains |
| Odoo 17 | October 2023 | Supported (until Odoo 20 release) | New look and feel, redesigned discuss, keyboard-first UX |
| Odoo 18 | October 2024 | Supported | AI features, faster reporting engine, POS and inventory improvements |
| Odoo 19 | October 2025 | Latest — fully supported | Deeper AI integration across apps, new Studio capabilities, performance and UX refinements |
| Odoo 20 | Expected ~October 2026 | Not yet released | Announced features land at Odoo Experience 2026 — treat any feature list before then as speculation |

Two practical notes on this table. First, "end of life" is not a soft label — it means no security patches, no bug fixes, and no official support from Odoo SA. Second, the Odoo 20 row is an expectation based on twelve consecutive years of annual October releases, not a confirmed date. Odoo SA announces the release at Odoo Experience each year.
How long does Odoo support each version?
Odoo's support policy is simple and strict: only the three most recent major versions receive support. There is no extended-support program you can buy, unlike SAP or Microsoft Dynamics.
In practice each version gets roughly three years of life:
| Phase | Duration | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Year 1 (latest version) | ~12 months | Full support, bug fixes, security patches, active feature polish in point releases |
| Year 2 (latest minus one) | ~12 months | Bug fixes and security patches |
| Year 3 (latest minus two) | ~12 months | Security patches, critical fixes only |
| Year 4 onward | — | Nothing. No patches, no official upgrade scripts guaranteed |
So as of June 2026:
- Odoo 19 — in year 1. Best choice for new implementations.
- Odoo 18 — in year 2. Fully fine to run; plan an upgrade window in 2027.
- Odoo 17 — in year 3. Supported, but it drops off the list when Odoo 20 ships (expected October 2026). If you run 17, your upgrade planning should start now.
- Odoo 16 and earlier — unsupported. Every month on these versions adds security exposure and migration debt.
One detail that surprises teams: Odoo's official database upgrade service (upgrade.odoo.com) is built around supported-version paths. Migrating from a long-dead version often requires hopping through intermediate versions, which multiplies project cost. A 2-version jump is routine; a 5-version jump is a project.
Community vs Enterprise: same version number, different product
Both editions follow the same version numbering and release on the same day. Odoo 19 Community and Odoo 19 Enterprise share the same core framework and ORM. The differences that matter for the version decision:
| Aspect | Community (free, LGPL) | Enterprise (per-user subscription) |
|---|---|---|
| Version cadence | Same annual October release | Same annual October release |
| Apps included | Core apps (CRM, sales, invoicing, inventory, website, manufacturing basics) | Everything in Community plus accounting full version, payroll, helpdesk, field service, quality, PLM, marketing automation, Studio, and more |
| Official upgrade service | Not included — you migrate yourself or hire a partner | Included — Odoo SA's upgrade platform migrates your database between versions |
| Hosting | Self-hosted only | Odoo Online (SaaS), Odoo.sh (PaaS), or on-premise |
| Mobile apps and AI features | Limited | Full |
The upgrade-service line is the one that bites. Community users who skipped three versions discover that the free edition has no official migration path — community tools like OpenUpgrade exist and work, but they require real technical effort. This is the hidden cost of "free" that should factor into your edition choice. Our Odoo migration service handles both editions, including multi-version Community jumps.
A separate nuance: Odoo Online (the SaaS edition) auto-upgrades you. If you are on Odoo Online, you do not choose when to move to the latest version — Odoo schedules it. On-premise and Odoo.sh customers control their own timing, which is exactly why the "should I upgrade" question below exists.
Should you upgrade to Odoo 19? Decision matrix
Upgrading is not automatic best practice. A version migration is a project — typically 2 to 8 weeks for an SMB depending on customization depth and data volume. Here is the decision framework we use with clients:
| Your situation | Recommendation | Why |
|---|---|---|
| New implementation starting now | Go straight to Odoo 19 | No migration cost, longest support runway (~3 years), all new modules target it first |
| On Odoo 18, stable, no pain points | Stay until 2027 | You have a full year of support left; upgrade once 19 has had multiple stability point releases — or jump to 20 |
| On Odoo 17 | Plan the upgrade now, execute by Q4 2026 | Support ends when Odoo 20 ships; do not start a migration after support lapses |
| On Odoo 16 or older | Upgrade urgently | You are unsupported. Every custom module and every data-model change between versions compounds the cost |
| Heavily customized instance (20+ custom modules) | Budget a code-migration phase first | Custom module porting is the dominant cost, not the data migration. Audit module compatibility before committing to a date |
| You need a specific Odoo 19 feature (AI, new Studio, reporting) | Upgrade when the feature pays for the project | Feature-driven upgrades have the clearest ROI math |
Three rules of thumb from migration projects we have delivered:
- Never go live on a brand-new major version in its first 60 days. The .0 release in October always gets meaningful stability fixes through December. Odoo 19 is well past that window now — it is mature.
- Skipping versions is cheaper than annual upgrades for most SMBs. Migrating 16 to 19 directly costs far less than three separate yearly projects. The official upgrade service handles multi-version jumps in one pass.
- Module compatibility is the real gate. Standard Odoo data migrates reliably. Third-party and custom modules are where timelines slip. Inventory your installed modules and confirm each has a target-version release before you schedule anything.
What does an Odoo upgrade cost in 2026?
Rough ranges from real projects, assuming Enterprise edition with the official upgrade service handling the database:
| Scenario | Typical effort | Typical budget |
|---|---|---|
| Vanilla Odoo, no custom code, 1-version jump | 1–2 weeks | $2,000–$6,000 |
| Light customization (under 10 custom modules), 1–2 version jump | 3–6 weeks | $6,000–$20,000 |
| Heavy customization (20+ modules), 2–3 version jump | 2–4 months | $20,000–$80,000+ |
| Community self-hosted, multi-version, no upgrade service | Highly variable | Add 30–60% to the above |
These are implementation-partner figures; your internal team time is additional. The single biggest cost driver is custom module count, followed by version distance.
What about Odoo 20? What we expect next
Based on the annual cadence, Odoo 20 is expected around October 2026, announced and demonstrated at Odoo Experience in Brussels. Odoo SA does not publish a long-range roadmap, so any detailed Odoo 20 feature list you read before the keynote is guesswork.
What we can say with reasonable confidence, based on the trajectory of versions 17 through 19:
- More AI, deeper in the workflow. Each of the last two releases pushed AI from a bolt-on into core flows (lead scoring, document parsing, content generation). Expect that to continue.
- Performance work continues. Odoo has shipped measurable speed improvements in every recent release, particularly in reporting and large-database operations.
- When 20 ships, 17 dies. That is the actionable part. The support window shifts to 18/19/20, and every Odoo 17 instance becomes unsupported overnight.
Our advice: do not wait for Odoo 20 unless you are already on 18 or 19 and comfortable. "Waiting for the next version" is the most common way businesses end up two versions behind and unsupported.
How ECOSIRE handles versions in our module marketplace
A practical note for teams that buy third-party modules: version coverage is a real procurement criterion. A module that only exists for v17 silently anchors your whole instance to an aging version.
Every module in the ECOSIRE Odoo apps marketplace ships in three builds — Odoo 17, Odoo 18, and Odoo 19 — matching the official support window exactly. Licensing is per-version: each major version is a separate licensed artifact, which means the build you download is actually tested against the version you run, not a lowest-common-denominator codebase with version shims. When Odoo 20 arrives, our pipeline adds v20 builds and the window rolls forward.
If you are evaluating an upgrade and one of your blockers is a third-party module that has no current-version release, that is usually solvable — porting a well-structured module between adjacent versions is a known-quantity task. It is one of the most common requests our Odoo migration team handles alongside full instance upgrades.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the latest version of Odoo right now?
Odoo 19 is the latest major version as of June 2026. It was released in October 2025 at the Odoo Experience conference. Both Community (free) and Enterprise editions are on version 19, and it is the recommended target for all new implementations. The next major version, Odoo 20, is expected around October 2026 based on Odoo's consistent annual release cycle.
How long will Odoo 19 be supported?
Roughly three years. Odoo supports only the three most recent major versions, so Odoo 19 will receive full support and security patches until approximately October 2028, when the expected Odoo 22 release would push it out of the support window. Within that span, the first year gets the most active maintenance, with later years limited to bug fixes and then security patches only.
Is Odoo 17 still supported in 2026?
Yes, as of June 2026 Odoo 17 is still within the official support window — but it is the oldest supported version and will lose support when Odoo 20 is released, expected around October 2026. If you run Odoo 17, you should be planning a migration to 18 or 19 now rather than waiting for the support cutoff, because migration projects scheduled after end-of-life carry more risk and typically cost more.
Can I skip versions when upgrading Odoo, for example from 16 to 19?
Yes, and most businesses should. Odoo's official upgrade service (included with Enterprise) handles multi-version jumps in a single migration pass, so a 16-to-19 project is one project, not three. The data migration scales mildly with version distance, but the dominant cost is porting custom and third-party modules to the target version. Skipping versions is almost always cheaper than upgrading annually, which is why a 2–3 version jump is the most common migration we deliver.
What is the difference between Odoo Community and Enterprise versions?
They share the same version number and release schedule — Odoo 19 Community and Odoo 19 Enterprise shipped on the same day. Enterprise adds the full accounting app, payroll, helpdesk, Studio, marketing automation, and other apps, plus official hosting options (Odoo Online and Odoo.sh) and — critically for the version question — the official database upgrade service. Community users must handle version migrations themselves or through a partner, which makes staying current more expensive on the free edition than most teams expect.
When will Odoo 20 be released?
Odoo has not announced a date, but the company has released one major version every October for over a decade, so Odoo 20 is widely expected around October 2026, unveiled at the Odoo Experience event in Brussels. Treat any pre-announcement feature lists as speculation. The practical consequence of the release is certain, though: when Odoo 20 ships, Odoo 17 drops out of the official three-version support window.
