Subway Hours: Opening & Closing Times + Holiday Schedule

Most standalone Subway restaurants in the United States open between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM and close between 9:00 PM and 11:00 PM Monday through Saturday. Sunday hours often start later (around 8:00–10:00 AM) and may close earlier (around 8:00–10:00 PM). Because every restaurant is independently owned, your local franchisee sets the exact schedule—use the official locator at subway.com/en-us/locator or the Subway mobile app for live hours.

Sunday is the most commonly shortened day at Subway. A typical pattern is 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM, though many stores stay open until 10:00 or 11:00 PM—especially near highways and shopping centers. Subway does not follow a chain-wide Sunday closure policy like some competitors.

US Subway franchise agreements require a breakfast menu, but the daily service window is set by each owner. Egg sandwiches and breakfast flatbreads are typically available from store opening until about 10:30 AM or 11:00 AM. Some locations keep egg patties in the hot well and will build breakfast items later if inventory allows. Check whether breakfast items appear on that store’s menu in the Subway app.

Yes. At most US locations the full lunch and dinner menu—including Subway Series, classic Footlongs, wraps, and No Bready Bowls—is available from the moment the restaurant opens. Only breakfast egg items are time-limited at many stores, not the entire sandwich line.

Thanksgiving and Christmas Day are the holidays most likely to see closures or very limited hours. Many franchisees close entirely, while airport and travel-plaza stores may remain open. Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve frequently use early closing times. Always verify your specific restaurant before holiday travel.

True 24-hour Subways are uncommon but exist at select highway travel plazas and high-traffic corridors. Standard suburban and street-front restaurants rarely stay open past 10:00 or 11:00 PM. Search your store on restaurants.subway.com to see posted daily hours.

Only a minority of US Subway restaurants include a drive-thru. Where one is installed, drive-thru hours generally match in-store hours. Most customers order inside, via curbside, delivery apps, or the Subway mobile app.

The most reliable sources are the official Subway store locator (subway.com/en-us/locator), the store-specific page on restaurants.subway.com, and the Subway mobile app—which shows whether a location is open now, menu availability, and delivery options. Third-party directories can be outdated.

Subway restaurants are 100% franchised. Owners set hours based on lease requirements, labor, local competition, and venue type (mall, airport, campus, standalone). That is why a downtown shop may close at 4:00 PM while a suburban location serves until 11:00 PM.

Subway often promotes lunch combos and deals between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM. That window is for marketing—not a restriction on ordering subs. You can usually order any sandwich from open to close regardless of the clock.
