BEAD key dates calendar

Last checked: 20 September 2026. A free, printable PDF of the dates that matter in the US$42.45bn BEAD programme — from the Infrastructure Act signing (2021) through NTIA's 2025 restructuring and the Texas, California and Florida award stories, plus the three forward obligations we could verify.

What’s in it

  • 20 dated entries: national milestones, the 2025 Restructuring Policy Notice and its 90-day final-proposal deadline, and the TX/CA/FL award timelines.
  • Every date pinned to a named source with a link — NTIA, state broadband offices, and trade press.
  • Entries marked as reported rest on a single trade-press or scheduled source and are not presented as settled fact.

Coverage

This calendar covers national milestones plus Texas, California and Florida — the three largest allocations. It is deliberately not a 56-state calendar: per-state challenge windows and application deadlines that states have not published are excluded rather than guessed. We refresh it when a new verifiable milestone or deadline is published; the newest version always lives on this page.
