The crawl archive for February 2026 is now available.
The data was crawled between February 6th and February 19th, and contains 2.1 billion web pages (or 363 TiB of uncompressed content). Page captures are from 45.5 million hosts or 37.1 million registered domains and include 626 million new URLs, not visited in any of our prior crawls.
Archive Location & Download
The February 2026 crawl archive is located in the commoncrawl bucket at crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2026-08/.
To assist with exploring and using the dataset, we provide gzipped files which list all segments, WARC, WAT and WET files.
By simply adding either s3://commoncrawl/ or https://data.commoncrawl.org/ to each line, you end up with the S3 and HTTP paths respectively, please see Get Started for detailed instructions.

Erratum:
WARC Content-Type header in revisit records
Originally reported by:
Sebastian Nagel
Common Crawl's WARC revisit records use Content-Type: message/http (following the WARC 1.1 spec's example), but per iipc/warc-specifications#55 it should be application/http;msgtype=response for consistency with other HTTP response records.
Erratum:
Content is truncated
Originally reported by:
Some archived content is truncated due to fetch size limits imposed during crawling. This is necessary to handle infinite or exceptionally large data streams (e.g., radio streams). Prior to March 2025 (CC-MAIN-2025-13), the truncation threshold was 1 MiB. From the March 2025 crawl onwards, this limit has been increased to 5 MiB.
