Re:   Sohu.com Inc.
  Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2015
  Filed February 26, 2016
  Form 8-K
  Furnished August 2, 2016
  File No. 000-30961

Dear Mr. Wilson:

We refer to a letter from the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission to Dr. Charles Zhang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of our client Sohu.com Inc. (“Sohu”), dated September 14, 2016 (the “Comment Letter”), regarding Sohu’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed on February 26, 2016 and Form 8-K furnished to the SEC on August 2, 2016.

On Sohu’s behalf, we advise the Staff that Sohu expects to be in a position to respond to the Comment Letter by Monday, October 3, 2016. This delay beyond the timeframe initially requested by the Staff is necessitated by the closing of Sohu’s principal offices on Thursday, September 15 and Friday, September 16, 2016 for the Chinese “Moon Festival” holiday, during which days, and continuing through the weekend, Sohu’s key business, legal, and finance personnel were not available to work on responses to the Comment Letter.
