When is the WordPress 5 release date?

The next WordPress 5 release date is scheduled on 19th of November 2018 (+ plus 8 days are as a backup if necessary). But this isn’t strict deadline, because developers openly count on the option that they won’t be fast enough with all bugs fixing.

So if they will expect, that it is not a good idea to release WordPress 5 by the end of November/ beginning of December, they have another target date for release – January 22, 2019.
