Best time to post on Facebook on Tuesday
Tuesday is one of the strongest Facebook days. The Monday backlog is cleared, people are back to normal browsing habits, and there is still most of the week left for a post to keep circulating.
Our Facebook Tuesday posting time figures are not published yet
We only publish posting times we measured ourselves, from posts actually published through Bolta. That aggregate is still being compiled, so this page shows the reasoning without the numbers rather than recycling someone else’s round figures. It is excluded from search results until the data lands.
In the meantime, Bolta’s Optimal Time already computes the answer for your own account rather than a benchmark average.

What makes Tuesday different on Facebook
Tuesday is the first day of the week where your audience is both settled into a routine and still willing to browse. Monday's catch-up pressure is gone; the weekend is far enough away that nobody is mentally checked out. For Facebook specifically, that means the followers most likely to comment and share are reachable in their ordinary break patterns rather than at the edges of a disrupted day.
Competing volume is high on Tuesday — it is a core scheduling day for Pages — but unlike Monday the audience side has recovered, so the trade is favourable rather than lopsided.
Tuesday also keeps most of Monday's runway advantage. A post that starts a conversation on Tuesday still has several days of week left for comment activity to re-promote it before attention resets, which is a meaningful edge on a platform where posts do not expire quickly.

Frequently asked questions
Is Tuesday the best day to post on Facebook?
It is usually in the top group along with Wednesday and Thursday. Tuesday's specific advantage is that it combines a fully available audience with almost a full week of remaining runway for the post to keep circulating.
How is Tuesday different from Monday on Facebook?
The audience, not the algorithm. Monday's followers are absorbed in restarting a working week and skip the personal feed; by Tuesday, normal break-time browsing has resumed. Competing Page volume is similar on both days, which is why Tuesday wins.
What kind of content works on Tuesday?
Anything you want to travel through comments and shares. A settled midweek audience is the best condition for the second-order distribution Facebook depends on, so Tuesday is where question posts, community prompts and your strongest single piece of the week belong.
Should I post more than once on Tuesday?
Rarely worth it. Facebook posts stay alive for days, so a second post the same day mostly draws on the audience the first one has already reached. Spreading across midweek days beats stacking them into one.
Stop looking up posting times
A benchmark table is an average of other people's audiences. Bolta's Optimal Time reads your own Facebook history and schedules each post into the window that actually works for your account — then keeps adjusting as the audience shifts.
Methodology
These pages report posting times measured from posts published through Bolta — our own data, not a third-party benchmark. The aggregate is still being compiled, so no sample size, date range or figures are published yet and this page is excluded from search results.
When it publishes, this block will state the exact post count, the number of accounts, and the date range behind every number on the page.
