Live VIX futures term structure and historical VIX curve analysis

VIX TermLab tracks the VIX cash index alongside VX futures contracts so traders can quickly compare the current volatility curve with prior sessions. The dashboard focuses on front-month and second-month VIX futures, days to expiry, future roll, contango, backwardation, and curve slope.

Use the historical charts, curve table, scanner, and heatmap to study how VIX futures price stress, carry, and volatility risk across the term structure.

The Expiration Levels section lists official Cboe VX monthly final settlement values by year. These VIX futures expiration levels can be used to look up the final settlement level for each monthly VX contract, including recent and historical expirations from January through December.
