Is there any dead line for migrating ADF pipelines to Fabric?

Is there any defined deadline for migrating Azure Data Factory (ADF) pipelines to Microsoft Fabric? Earlier, when opening ADF, there used to be a pop-up message indicating that internal users would not be able to create new pipelines after July 2026. Is any such restriction currently planned or officially announced?

Hello Sebastian Pandimattam Pathrose (MINDTREE LIMITED)

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A forum.

There isn’t any announced cut-off date for moving your Azure Data Factory (ADF) pipelines over to Fabric. You can keep building and running ADF pipelines side-by-side with Fabric Data Factory, and there’s no “hard stop” (for example, July 2026) on creating new pipelines in ADF.

When you’re ready to migrate, Microsoft provides a variety of guidance and tools—everything from automatic/mount-in-Fabric migration, PowerShell conversion modules, manual “rebuild in Fabric” patterns, partner solutions, and best-practice checklists. You can plan and execute your move at your own pace; just follow the migration guides below to understand feature parity, scheduling, identity changes, and test/validation strategies.

There is no announced deadline or deprecation date for Azure Data Factory (ADF) pipelines, and no mandatory migration date to Microsoft Fabric has been defined in the provided information.

Current guidance states that Azure Data Factory and Azure Synapse pipelines:

Have their own separate PaaS roadmaps.
Continue to be fully supported.
Have no plans for deprecation.

For new projects, the recommendation is to start with Fabric Data Factory, and there are migration and coexistence options (such as Azure Data Factory items in Fabric and migration tooling). However, no enforcement date or restriction like “no new pipelines after July 2026” is documented in the context.
