Which Stocks Have Weekly Options?

By the Weekly Options Team · Reviewed August 2026

Knowing which stocks have weekly options is obviously one of the very first things that a trader needs to do to take advantage of trading weekly options. There are three main types of weekly options available: Weekly Index Options, Weekly Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) Options, and Weekly Equity Options.

WEEKLY INDEX OPTIONS

Index options trading is conducted in basically the same manner as trading stock options, with the main difference being that the underlying security is an entire index, rather than a single stock. Trading index options allows a trader to participate in the movement of an entire cross section of stocks in an easy and relatively low-cost way.

The Weekly Index Options available are as follows:

  • Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJX)
  • CBOE Volatility Index (VIX)
  • S&P 500 Index (SPX)
  • CBOE Mini S&P Index Options (XSP)
  • MSCI EAFE Index (MXEA)
  • MSCI Emerging Markets Index (MXEF)
  • Nanos S&P 500 Index Options (NANOS)
  • S&P 100 Index (American style) (OEX)
  • S&P 100 Index (European style) (XEO)
  • Russell 2000 Index (RUT)
  • WEEKLY ETF OPTIONS

    An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is basically a mutual fund that is traded in the same way as a stock. Options on these ETFs are traded “American Style,” in the same way as stock options. This means that they are settled for shares of the underlying ETF, and can be exercised early.

    There are a number of ETFs or ETNs which have weekly options available, and a complete list can be found on the CBOE website.

    EQUITY OPTIONS - WHICH STOCKS HAVE WEEKLY OPTIONS?

    There are hundreds of stocks which offer weekly equity options, and this includes stocks from all the major sectors, including Technology and Communications, Materials, Energy, Industrials and Utilities, Consumer Staples and Consumer Cyclical, Financials and Healthcare.

    WHICH STOCKS HAVE WEEKLY OPTIONS, AND HOW TO FIND THE CURRENT LIST

    Weekly equity options are available on hundreds of the most actively traded stocks, across every major sector: technology, communications, financials, healthcare, energy, industrials, consumer names and more. The exact list changes over time, because the exchange adds weeklies for names as their trading volume grows and removes them when it falls away, so any fixed list printed on a page goes out of date.

    The reliable way to check is to go to the source. The CBOE Available Weeklys list is the official, current record of every index, ETF and equity name with weekly options, and your broker platform will also show the available expirations the moment you bring up an option chain. Confirm there before you trade rather than relying on any list, including this one.

    As a feel for the kind of names involved, the largest and most heavily traded stocks almost always carry weeklies, and have for years: Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Nvidia (NVDA), Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOGL), Meta (META), Tesla (TSLA), Broadcom (AVGO), JPMorgan (JPM) and Bank of America (BAC) among them. The big index and ETF products carry them too, including the S&P 500 (SPX), the Nasdaq 100 tracker (QQQ) and the S&P 500 tracker (SPY). These are examples to illustrate the point, not picks, and not the full list.

    For the names we actively research each week, with the reasoning and a documented track record for each, see our weekly options directory.

    A FINAL NOTE

    Availability changes over time, so treat the names above as examples rather than a fixed list, and confirm current weekly options on the CBOE website or your broker before you trade.
