MySQL 8.0 Has Reached EOL. Your Coverage Doesn't Have To End. - TuxCare

MySQL’s LTS releases include 5 years of Premier Support and 3 years of Extended Support, with a new LTS version released about every two years.

The MySQL 8.0 LTS line reached end-of-life (EOL) on April 30, 2026. Oracle no longer provides security updates, so without TuxCare ELS you would need to upgrade to a newer LTS release.

Keep Running. Skip the Risks.

Upgrading a legacy MySQL deployment can be time-consuming and risky, often requiring compatibility checks, client/connector updates, configuration changes, and extensive testing.

TuxCare’s ELS keeps your EOL MySQL environments secure, compliant, and stable without the risk of costly upgrades.
