Many large ASDA stores in England and Wales close between 4pm and 6pm on Sunday. Common branch schedules include 10am to 4pm, 11am to 5pm and 12pm to 6pm, but there is no single Sunday closing time for every ASDA.
Sunday is also one of the days when location matters most. Scotland and Northern Ireland can follow different trading patterns, while ASDA Express stores may operate for much longer than a nearby Superstore.
Three Common Sunday Closing Patterns
Current ASDA Superstore listings illustrate three frequently seen Sunday windows:
- 10am to 4pm
- 11am to 5pm
- 12pm to 6pm
Each represents a six-hour supermarket trading period, but the closing time differs by up to two hours.
This is why knowing that ASDA has “six hours on Sunday” does not tell you whether your branch closes at 4pm, 5pm or 6pm.
Why Sunday Is So Different From Saturday
A large ASDA may remain open until 10pm on Saturday and then trade for only six daytime hours on Sunday.
The change is particularly dramatic at branches that are open 24 hours during part of the working week. Their continuous trading can end on Saturday evening, followed by a much shorter Sunday session.
Do not carry Saturday’s closing time into Sunday.
Why Some Stores Close at 4pm and Others at 5pm or 6pm
Large-store Sunday trading in England and Wales is restricted to a limited continuous shopping period, but retailers can place that period at different times within the permitted Sunday window.
That allows one ASDA to use 10am to 4pm while another chooses 11am to 5pm or noon to 6pm.
The branch-specific timetable therefore controls the actual closing time.
London ASDA Stores Do Not All Close at the Same Time
Even stores within the same broad region can use different Sunday windows.
For example, some London branches currently trade from 11am to 5pm, while others use noon to 6pm. A general “ASDA London Sunday closing time” can therefore be too broad for planning a journey.
Use the postcode or street address to identify the exact store.
Scotland Can Have Much Longer Sunday Hours
The Sunday pattern in Scotland should not be assumed to match England and Wales.
Some Scottish ASDA stores trade for long Sunday hours, and certain branches are listed as open 24 hours even on Sunday.
If your store is in Scotland, use its own listing rather than applying a 4pm, 5pm or 6pm closing time automatically.
Northern Ireland Has Its Own Sunday Pattern
Northern Ireland branches can also look very different from an English or Welsh ASDA.
A store can have a later Sunday opening and a five-hour trading period rather than one of the common six-hour English and Welsh schedules.
Location is therefore part of the closing-time answer, not merely the branch name.
ASDA Express May Stay Open After the Superstore Closes
A nearby ASDA Express petrol location may remain open late into Sunday evening or operate 24 hours.
This does not extend the trading hours of the full-size Superstore. The two formats should be treated as separate stores.
Sunday Collection Can Extend Beyond Store Trading
Online grocery collection does not always match the six-hour supermarket window.
At some branches, collection can begin before the store opens for Sunday shopping or continue after shop-floor trading has ended.
Your booked slot is the controlling time for an existing collection. The ASDA Click and Collect guide explains the service separately.
Pharmacy, Cafe and Opticians Can Close at Different Times
Some Sunday services match the supermarket’s hours, but others do not.
A cafe may finish before the shop closes, an opticians department may be unavailable on Sunday, and a pharmacy can have its own schedule.
Check the relevant service if it is the reason for your journey.
Bank Holiday Sundays and Easter Sunday Need Special Checking
Do not assume an ordinary Sunday timetable applies to every special Sunday.
Easter Sunday can have particularly significant differences, including closure at large stores where applicable. Christmas and New Year periods can also affect surrounding Sunday schedules.
The ASDA Easter Sunday closing-time page deals with that date separately.
How to Confirm Your ASDA Sunday Closing Time
- Open the ASDA Store Locator.
- Search using the branch name or postcode.
- Confirm the exact address and store format.
- Read the Sunday row rather than relying on Monday-to-Saturday hours.
- Check Holiday Hours if the Sunday falls within a special trading period.
The ASDA store locator guide can help distinguish nearby branches with similar names.
ASDA Sunday Closing Time FAQs

Some branches use an 11am to 5pm Sunday trading window. Check the exact store because this is not universal.
