Weekly number plate auction window
Understand when weekly AuctionMyPlate listings open and close, and how the five-minute soft close keeps the final bidding period fair.

Auction opens
Monday 01:00
Approved and scheduled listings become live at the start of the weekly UK auction window.
Auction closes
Sunday 23:00
Each listing is due to close at the end of the weekly window unless its soft close extends the finish time.
Soft close
Five minutes
A bid placed in the final five minutes extends that listing by five minutes, giving other bidders a fair chance to respond.

Before a listing goes live
Approved plates can be previewed on the Coming Next page before their auction begins. Bidding, Watch and Buy Now controls become available only when the listing is live.

Auction history stays available
Once a listing closes, its public page is shown neutrally as Auction ended. Public visitors are not told whether the plate was sold, withdrawn or otherwise completed.
