These timelines are approximate. IPS announces exact dates through school circulars and the official SPhO page: https://www.physics.nus.edu.sg/olympiad/spho

Note: The Experimental round typically takes place in the following calendar year (e.g. SPhO 2026 Theory in late 2026, Experimental in early 2027). Confirm the schedule with your school's Physics department.
