The best times to post on TikTok on Monday, based on multiple recent studies in 2025, are generally focused around:
- Early morning: 6 AM to 10 AM (with specific common peaks at 6 AM and 10 AM)
- Early afternoon: 1 PM to 4 PM (noted around 1 PM and 4 PM by some sources)
- Evening: Around 10 PM to 11 PM (some studies pick 10 PM as a peak time)
Summarizing the specific recommendations:
- 6 AM, 10 AM, and 1 PM show 2x to 3x higher engagement in one analysis.
- Other analyses highlight 10 AM, 4 PM, and 10 PM as prime windows.
- Buffer and some platforms report later evening times such as 5 PM, 6 PM, and 7 PM as good for Monday.
- Sprout Social and SocialPilot emphasize the window from noon to 5 PM as a strong engagement period on Monday.
Thus, if you want to maximize engagement on Monday, posting around early morning (6-10 AM), early/mid-afternoon (1-4 PM), or late evening (10 PM) is the best strategy, with the noon to 5 PM window also being highly effective for many users. Time recommendations in summary:
- 6 AM, 10 AM, 1 PM, 4 PM, 10 PM
- Or an extended afternoon window: 12 PM - 5 PM
- Evening: 5 PM to 7 PM also shows some audience activity
Choose posting times based on your specific audience's time zone and habits, but these slots are generally where engagement on Monday peaks on TikTok in 2025.
