Actions for ARM32 Linux & Windows retirement
GitHub Changelog · By Allison ·
The Brief
- GitHub Actions hosted runners will end support for ARM32 job execution on Windows and Linux by 8 December 2026.
- The change follows the end of support for node20, since Node 24 does not support ARM32.
- It also removes support on hosted runners for native AArch32 user-space.
Why it matters
Workflows that run on ARM32 GitHub-hosted runners will stop working after the retirement date, so they need a new runner target before then.
Who’s affected
- Teams running GitHub Actions jobs on ARM32 hosted runners for Linux or Windows
What to do
- Identify workflows that target ARM32 hosted runners and plan a migration before 8 December 2026.
- Node.js 20
- Node.js 24
