Let’s have a look at several ways you can check and get the Laravel version your app is using.

Check Laravel version via CLI

Check Laravel version via PHP

Check Laravel version via Blade

Additionally, you can also find the Laravel version inside composer.lock , but this approach is often out of hand.

Happy coding
