Not a TLD
2026 round does not exist. It is not in the root zone, has no registry agreement and no domains under it, and it is counted in none of this site's TLD or domain figures. If it is delegated it will appear in upcoming and then in the TLD data, on the day that happens and not before. The methodology sets out how this data is collected and why it is kept apart.
Data currency. Domain counts on this page are from zone files dated and refresh daily. Registrar figures are from ICANN's monthly registry reports for June 2026, which ICANN publishes about three months in arrears; zone files contain no registrar information, so no fresher source exists.
