Google will no longer support FAQ rich results as of May 7, 2026. This means you will no longer see FAQ rich results in the Google Search results going forward.

Plus, Google Search Console will stop reporting on FAQ structured data.

What Google said. Google posted a note at the top of the FAQ structured data developer documentation saying:

FAQ rich results are no longer appearing in Google Search. We will be dropping the FAQ search appearance, rich result report, and support in the Rich results test in June 2026. To allow time for adjusting your API calls, support for the FAQ rich result in the Search Console API will be removed in August 2026.

Remove code. You can remove the FAQ structured data from your code, if you want but you can also leave it. Other search engines may be able to continue to process it and use it for their own purposes.

Why we care. Rich results have helped web pages with click-through rates and get more traffic. FAQ rich results may have helped as well. But that is now no longer supported.

Keep an eye on your pages with FAQ structured data to see if your traffic from Google is impacted or not.
