Next SAT® date and registration deadlines
College Board lists August 28, 2026 as the regular-registration deadline for the September 12 SAT®. It lists September 1 as the deadline for late registration, changes, and regular cancellation. Its published deadlines expire at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, so students should not treat the date as an all-day deadline in every time zone.
See the complete next SAT® date guide for the test date, registration timeline, score date, and the administrations that follow it.

Scores from the September 12 weekend SAT® are scheduled for release on Friday, September 25, 2026. College Board confirms the release date but does not promise one universal release hour.

How the countdown works
The countdown updates once per second using the time on the visitor's device. That matters because weekend SAT® administrations take place in local test-center time zones. The displayed date remains the same nationwide, while the remaining hours can differ depending on where a student is viewing the page.
Dates on this site are checked against College Board's published SAT® dates, deadlines, and score release schedule. Students should always use their admission information for test-center-specific instructions.
