If you're aiming for the Cambridge C2 Proficiency (CPE) in 2026, you need to know exactly when you can register, sit the exam, and get your results. This page gives you the key dates and practical steps — but always double-check on the official Cambridge English website before making plans.
2026 Exam Schedule Overview
Cambridge C2 Proficiency is offered in multiple sessions throughout the year. Typically, there are five main exam windows: February, April, June, August, and November. Exact dates vary by test centre and country.
- February session — registration usually closes 6–8 weeks before the exam.
- April session — popular for candidates finishing academic terms.
- June session — often the busiest window.
- August session — limited availability in some regions.
- November session — last chance for the year.
For the most accurate 2026 dates, visit the official Cambridge English website or contact your local authorised centre.

- Online registration typically opens 3–4 months before each exam date.
- Paper-based registration may close earlier.
