When is the PIRLS exam date 2026 and where is it conducted?

I heard that the next big PIRLS study is happening in 2026, and I want to know the exact days it will be held. Will the test be in a big hall with students from other schools, or do we just stay in our own classroom? I need to know if I should be prepared for a specific month so I can practice my reading speed.

The main data collection for PIRLS 2026 is scheduled for the spring months (typically March to June) for countries in the Northern Hemisphere. The exam is conducted locally at your school, usually in your own classroom or the school's computer lab. This ensures a familiar environment for students while they complete the digital assessment.
