Multiple versions of our on-premises product will reach the end of support on October 14, 2025. Customers are encouraged to start planning and deploying upgrades now to ensure that installed products remain supported and secure, and to take advantage of new capabilities offered in successor products. The latest version of our on-premises product is Azure DevOps Server 2022.2.
October 14, 2025, is the date for the end of Extended Support for Team Foundation Server 2015 – meaning it will no longer receive security updates or technical support. Upon end of support, there will be no new updates, free or paid assisted support options or online technical content updates. Upgrading from Team Foundation Server 2015 to Azure DevOps Server 2022.2 is fully supported and we strongly recommend that customers upgrade to the latest version before October 14, 2025, to continue getting security patches and support.
October 14, 2025, is also the date for the end of Mainstream Support for Azure DevOps Server 2020. We also support upgrading directly from Azure DevOps Server 2020 to Azure DevOps Server 2022 and we recommend upgrading before the end of Mainstream Support.
Note: Release Management for Visual Studio 2015 is no longer supported since it was integrated in Team Foundation Server 2015 with Update 2. For more information on managing pipelines, see the What is Azure Pipelines documentation.
You can reference the documentation listed in the Resources section of this blog post to learn more about upgrading to the latest version of Azure DevOps Server.
For those still using XAML build service for on-premises instances and looking for patches 1 through 6 for Team Foundation Server 2015 Update 4.2, the download links for patches 1 through 6 are broken and instead point to patch 7.
Example:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/server/release-notes/tfs2015-update4-vs?view=azure-devops#-release-date-may-14-2019
Download goes to patch7 instead of Team Foundation Server 2015 Update 4.2 Patch 1
As this version is still supported till later this year, the patches should be made available.

The Azure DevOps Roadmap for Azure DevOps Server displays multiple entries for features being released in 2025 H1. If the roadmap is correct, these changes will arrive months before this post's end of support dates. Do these expected features indicate a soon to arrive new version of DevOps Server or an update to DevOps Server 2022? If there is a soon to arrive new version of DevOps Server, what will be the upgrade paths? Are the new feature entries in the DevOps Server roadmap still on track for an H1 release date? Any information you can share on Microsoft's plans...
Hi Joseph, we are currently working on the release schedule for on-prem for the calendar year. I will share a post with details as soon as we complete planning.
