Google has started rolling out its November 2026 core update to Search.

Google released the update on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, with the entry logged on its Search Status Dashboard at 10:06 a.m. PT (1:07 p.m. ET). In Google's own words: "Released the November 2026 core update, which applies globally and to all languages. The rollout may take up to 2 weeks to complete."

This is Google's third core update of 2026, after the March and May updates, and the first since the May 21 to June 2 rollout. With the full two-week window, the rollout is expected to run until around November 24.

It is a broad ranking change, which means sites may move up or down in search results as it rolls out. Google advises waiting until the rollout is complete before judging any movement in Search Console data. Google has said nothing about what specifically changes with this update.

Google described it as "a regular update designed to better surface relevant, satisfying content for searchers from all types of sites."
