FluentUI 3 - web components release date

[Akhilesh Kataria (akil-rails)]

Is the release date for web components for fluent version 3 announced yet ? Could not find it in the docs . Is this sometime in 2025 ?

As of April 2025, Microsoft has not announced an official release date for Fluent UI Web Components version 3. The development team is actively working on the v3 release, with beta versions currently available for testing. A Release Candidate (RC) is anticipated soon, but no specific timeline has been provided.

For the most accurate and up-to-date information, it's advisable to monitor the official Fluent UI GitHub repository and participate in relevant discussions.

Hi Yiosko (@Yiosko)

... The development team is actively working on the v3 release,

There are only minor commits in changelog.md
Can you point me to right branch where we can follow progress.

Thanks.

I've been checking the Fluent UI Web Components repo, and although it's been mentioned that the team is actively working on version 3, I noticed there have only been minor commits to the changelog.md recently. I was also wondering if there's a specific branch where we can actually follow the progress on v3.

From what I’ve gathered, here are some good ways to stay up to date:

• GitHub Repository:
  https://github.com/microsoft/fluentui
  It’s worth checking for branches like next or v3, and keeping an eye on the Projects or Milestones tabs if they’re being used.

• Pull Requests:
  Some recent PRs may be tagged with v3, breaking-change, or enhancement. That’s usually a good way to see what’s actively in the works.

• Issues & Discussions:
  You can often find relevant conversations by searching for “v3”, “roadmap”, or “Fluent UI Web Components” in the Issues or Discussions sections.

• Official Channels:
  Sometimes the team shares updates via Twitter (FluentUI) or on the Fluent UI blog.

I can't answer you with much precision, but I'll tell you based on that.

We're working on getting the Release Candidate out the door - the biggest thing we need to fix is the docs site. It's stopped publishing due to some configuration and we're working with Tudor Popa (@tudorpopams) to get that unblocked.

Great progress! Glad to hear the RC is close. Hopefully the docs issue gets resolved soon. ☺️

Hello, there's no official date set for the Web Components release, but maybe Chris Holt (@chrisdholt) has more details.

Thanks for this - the last thing we were waiting on was the documentation site getting fixed and back up to date. We should have a release candidate published by EOM at the latest.

Thank you so much for the answer.
Thats great to hear, I think lots of developers will benefit from having GA for Web Components.
