Odoo 19 Roadmap: What’s To Expect?

Odoo 19: Release Timeline

Each year, Odoo introduces a major version update that sets the tone for its evolving ERP ecosystem, like Odoo 17 or Odoo 18 did. Odoo 19 is expected to follow this pattern, with its full release likely arriving towards the end of 2025.

However, this year brings a notable shift in schedule. The annual Odoo Experience event, where new versions are typically unveiled, will be held earlier than usual. Scheduled for September 18–20, 2025, in Brussels, this event is expected to offer the first detailed look at Odoo 19’s features and roadmap.

The earlier event date points to an accelerated development cycle and offers partners, developers, and businesses a chance to begin planning for what’s ahead. While the stable release will likely follow in the weeks or months after the event, the September presentations and previews will mark the start of broader community engagement and early testing opportunities.
