Node.js 24 is now the default for Builds and Functions on new sites
UpdateUnverifiedAdded Sep 24, 2026
New sites created on Netlify now use Node.js 24 by default for both builds and Netlify Functions. Existing sites aren’t affected , they keep using whatever Node.js version they’re currently pinned to, whether that’s set via a NODE_VERSION environment variable, an .nvmrc/.node-version file, or the engines.node field in package.json.
