What Moodle versions are still supported?
As of June 2026, these Moodle release lines still receive security updates: 5.2, 4.5, 5.1, 5.0. The latest supported release is 5.2.1. Versions older than these (4.4, 4.1, 4.3, 4.2, 4.0, 3.11, 3.9, 3.10, 3.8) are end-of-life and no longer patched.
When does Moodle 5.0 reach end of life?
Moodle 5.0 reaches end-of-life on 5 Oct 2026 — about 4 months away. After that date it stops receiving security patches.
Is Moodle end-of-life?
No — Moodle still has supported release lines (5.2, 4.5, 5.1, 5.0). But individual older versions are end-of-life, so what matters is the specific version you run.
How do I know when my Moodle version reaches end of life?
Check the version you run on its product page, or monitor Moodle on IsItPatched to get an email alert before the release line you use reaches end-of-life — so you can upgrade in time.
