Deploy Next.js 15 on Netlify Today

It’s here. A stable version of Next.js 15 is ready for production. What does that mean for Next.js developers on Netlify? Well, the short answer is: Business as usual. In this post, we’ll detail what’s new with Next.js 15 and how we support it from day one.

But before we do, let’s cover what’s most important.

How to deploy Next.js 15 on Netlify

Netlify supports Next.js 15 today. You can update your site to Next 15 and it will work on Netlify immediately. All the stable features work out of the box, and no changes are required on your end when using the latest Netlify Next.js Runtime. If you’ve manually installed the Netlify Next.js Runtime in your package.json you will need to upgrade it, but for everyone else, it will upgrade you automatically on your next deploy.

Alternatively, you can use our Next.js starter template which is fully functional on Next.js 15.

What’s new with Next.js 15?

While we won’t cover everything, here are some of the features we find most relevant to developers using Netlify.

React 19: App Router has been upgraded to React 19. For those using the Pages Router, you have the option to upgrade to React 19 when you’re ready.
Turbopack stability: For a faster development experience.
Faster builds for App Router: Optimized static generation to improve build times.
New caching defaults:
- Fetch requests are no longer cached by default, which means that dynamically rendered pages will re-request fetched data on each request.
- GET route handlers are no longer cached by default, which means you can expect a fresh response on every request.
- Page data is no longer cached in the browser by default, which means that client-side navigation will always reflect fresh data for newly active components.
- You can still opt in caching in all these cases and Netlify’s advanced caching primitives and blob storage will be used within the Next Runtime to provide a seamless experience.
