Quick Answer: Best Time to Post on TikTok Mondays
Benchmarks to test:
- Hootsuite’s Monday benchmark (2025 data): 5 PM https://blog.hootsuite.com/best-time-to-post-on-tiktok/
- Buffer’s Monday benchmark (2026 data): 7 PM (also 6 PM and 5 PM) https://buffer.com/resources/best-time-to-post-on-tiktok/
Treat these as hypotheses, then validate with your own analytics.
Why Mondays Are Tricky
Many audiences spend Monday catching up:
- Less “casual scrolling” early in the day
- More activity later when people want a break
If your niche is educational, Monday can work well for “fresh start” content: routines, goals, workflows, and beginner-friendly tutorials.
A Simple Monday Test Plan
1) Pick two windows
Test:
- Late afternoon (4 PM–6 PM)
- Evening (6 PM–9 PM)
2) Keep the content format consistent
Use the same format for both tests (similar length and hook style).
3) Track one metric
Watch time is a strong default.
Make Mondays Automatic With Scheduling
If your best Monday time is during work hours (yours or your audience’s), scheduling is the easiest win.
