Nobel laureate announcements usually take place in the first half of October, but they are not tied to the month’s second Sunday. For example, in 2026 the official schedule spread announcements for six prizes across 5–12 October, on different weekdays. The exact dates should therefore be checked in NobelPrize.org’s annual schedule.
