EventStatusType

EventStatusType is a 5-value StatusEnumeration on Event.eventStatus. Google's event rich result and knowledge panel read it directly.

Values: EventScheduled (default), EventCancelled, EventPostponed (date TBD), EventRescheduled (new date set — pair with previousStartDate), EventMovedOnline (pair with eventAttendanceMode: OnlineEventAttendanceMode).

Full example of schema.org/EventStatusType json-ld markup

The markup is verified as valid with Rich Results Test from Google.

schema.org/EventStatusType

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Event",
  "name": "Dunmore Medical Archive — 1945 Anniversary Dinner",
  "startDate": "2026-04-23T19:00:00+02:00",
  "previousStartDate": "2026-04-16T19:00:00+02:00",
  "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventRescheduled"
}
</script>

Minimal valid version

The smallest markup that still produces a valid EventStatusType entity. Use it as the floor. Reach for the advanced example above when you want search engines and AI agents to understand more about your content.

  "@type": "Event",
  "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled"
}

Google rich results this unlocks

EventStatusType is a structural type. It does not produce a rich result on its own.

Its value comes from combining it with a primary type whose markup earns a rich result (Article, Product, Event, and so on). EventStatusType becomes the trunk that the primary type branches off viamainEntityorbreadcrumb. Include it on every page as the backbone of your markup.

Common EventStatusType mistakes

Mistakes that pass validation but silently fail to earn rich results or mislead consumers walking the graph. Avoid these and your markup will be ahead of most sites in the wild.

01
Rescheduled event without previousStartDate
Wrong
```
eventStatus: EventRescheduled with only startDate
```
Right
```
Add previousStartDate so Google shows the change
```
Without previousStartDate, Google can't render the 'rescheduled from X' label on the event card.
