MySQL end of life?

MySQL & MariaDB Percona Server for MySQL 8.0

I am a little confused about the end of life date for MySQL 8.0.
Is the end of life april 2025 or april 2026?
according to this https://www.mysql.com/support/eol-notice.html
Starting with MySQL 8.1 and future releases, only 64-bit binaries will be provided. Existing MySQL 8.0 will continue to provide 32-bit and 64-bit binaries for supported platforms until EOL in April 2026.
But here its april 2025. MySQL | endoflife.date
Is there a document with the actual dates of the end of life?

EDIT: We do not pay for oracle support. I just want to know until when MySQL community will continue to get bug/security fixes/patches. thanks.

This is what I found:

and 8.0.34+ will transition to only bug fixes until 8.0 End-Of-Life (EOL) scheduled for April-2026.

https://dev.mysql.com/blog-archive/introducing-mysql-innovation-and-long-term-support-lts-versions/

Security patches should continue to at minimum, April 2025, and extended support (ie: paid) would go until 2026.

Thanks,
on the percona website though its april 2026?
I’m totally confused since I know percona aligns the eol with oracle.

If you are using Percona MySQL, then the 2026 date will stand. But once that date hits, there will be nothing more, just like how it is now with 5.7.
