Upgrade to Laravel 13: security fixes until 17 Mar 2028.

What to upgrade to

Go to 13.

13 is the newest supported Laravel cycle, with security fixes until 17 Mar 2028.

Before you upgrade

Upgrade one major at a time, with each version’s guide. Check your first-party and third-party packages support the new major first. Read the Laravel 13 upgrade guide

How to check your version

Which Laravel is this site on?

In the app

$ php artisan --version
Laravel Framework 12.33.0

In the lock file

$ composer show laravel/framework | grep versions
versions : * v12.33.0
# composer.lock is what deploys

On Forge

Site → Application
Framework: Laravel
# Forge shows the framework, not the version

Know before support ends.

Porro reads the PHP, framework and database version from every site and tells you 90 days before support runs out.
