Sophos End-of-Life Calendar: UTM, SG, XG and XGS

End-of-Sale, last renewal, End-of-Life and successors for SG/UTM, XG, XGS, RED, Access Points and Sophos Switches.

Review dates: SG/UTM and XG: 28 October 2026. Other model tables: 6 September 2026. Undeclared dates are marked accordingly.

XGS Appliances

XG Firewall

The replacement recommendations are Avanet’s assessment for current purchasing decisions. Sizing, interfaces and WLAN must suit the environment; WLAN on the XGS 138 requires a separate Access Point.

After End-of-Sale on 31.03.2022, XG hardware remained available from existing stock. The XG 85/105 models retired earlier retain their own dates.

SG models: UTM End of Life

Sophos UTM reached End of Life on 30.06.2026. This date applies to SG devices running UTM, regardless of hardware revision, as well as software, virtual, AWS and Home installations.

The same applies to SG: the replacement recommendation does not replace individual sizing.

¹ From 30.06.2023, SG hardware was sold from remaining stock, without a guarantee of availability.

The last UTM renewal date applies to regular subscriptions, including BYOL. One-year renewals could be ordered until 30.06.2025; new subscriptions and three-year renewals until 30.06.2023. AWS PAYG remained available until 30.06.2026.

SG running SFOS: The lifecycle dates of the corresponding XG model apply. A longer contract term does not extend the product EOL; special arrangements must be clarified for the specific installation.

Our article Sophos UTM – End of Life 2026 covers the background and migration.

Sophos Switch: hardware dates and firmware lifecycle

No confirmed hardware dates for EOS, Last Renewal or EOL are available here for the following models. The five-year XGS support phase cannot be used to calculate a Switch EOL. Firmware support and the hardware lifecycle must be assessed separately.

Sophos Switch Firmware Update, Rollback and Recovery explains firmware changes. Choosing Sophos Switch Models and Management explains model differences.

Glossary

End-of-Sale (EOS)

The End-of-Sale date is the last day a product is officially sold new. In practice, a model may become hard to obtain earlier depending on stock, distributor and region. Therefore, projects should not be planned up to the last day.

End-of-Life (EOL)

From this date onwards, Sophos no longer provides regular support for this product. RMA or replacement processes can no longer be planned as with supported hardware. Productive sites should be migrated before this date.

Last Renewal

Last Renewal is the final day on which an extension for hardware replacement, technical support, or subscription services can be ordered. A normal extension is no longer possible after that date. This is often more important for budget planning than the later End-of-Life date.

Buyer’s Guide (BG)

The Buyer’s Guide is an Avanet classification for procurement and planning.

🟢 - The product is current and has a clear purchase recommendation.

🟠 - The product is still officially sold, but there are indications of a successor.

🔴 - No purchase recommendation, the product is already or soon End of Life or there is already a successor.

Terms and notes

• Not declared / not published: no confirmed model date in this overview, not a promise of unlimited support.

Hardware EOL and firmware support have different deadlines. SFOS 21.0 and later do not support XG or SG hardware. Checking Sophos Firewall before SFOS 22 Upgrade explains the pre-upgrade checks.

The table does not establish individual support or RMA entitlement. See Sophos Hardware Warranty, Support and RMA for details. Before replacement, the successor model and sizing must suit the environment; a current backup is part of the preparation.
