2026 Wave 1

Hello,

I'm using the Dynamics instance in UK region. As part the MS documents, it says the Wave will be deployed to the First Release instances. We had created one last week but still there is no Wave update.

Am I missing something? Is there way to validate the Wave update from Dynamics ?

Thanks

have you updated release channel to monthly ?

This is new this time that Wave early access is no longer enabled through the old “Release Wave opt‑in” button.
Microsoft has deprecated Early Access and replaced it with Release Channels (Monthly vs. Semi‑annual).
To get the Wave early:
Switch your sandbox to Monthly Channel

Manoj

As per my knowledge, for environments located in the United Kingdom (UK) region, the deployment of the 2026 Wave 1 features is currently scheduled to take place between April 3 and April 6, 2026.

Even if you created a "First Release" or "Station 1" instance, these environments typically receive the update only 1–2 weeks before the general regional rollout. Since the official start date for GA is April 1, 2026, your First Release instance may not show the update until the very last days of March.

We have tried both the options.

1.Created a new instance in First Release/Early
2.Updated the Release Channels to Monthly last Friday.

Still, it didn't resolve.

Is there any other thing to check to get the Wave 1 before hitting the production ?

Thanks
San

@Sanart12 I am not sure when you changed the release channel but once you set to the monthly release channel, the wave release deployment typically begins on Friday evenings during the region's "dark hours." Once deployment starts for your geo, the database update for your environment also initiates on Friday during dark hours, but it may take several days for all environments in the geo to receive the update.

The database version will indicate if your environment has received the wave release. This timing applies to environments using the monthly channel. If your environment is set to monthly, you should expect updates to follow this cadence.

If this has not been installed on weekend then you should raise a MS ticket for this.
