Persona 5 Royal Palace deadlines

Keep the route, calling card and boss dates separate. The date shown for the story's consequences can be too late to finish a Palace.

Royal only. Names and dates below include later Palaces and the third semester. A deadline is the last opportunity for that step, not a suggested day to begin.

Give yourself time before the deadline

Secure the route first, then leave the Palace and arrange the calling card. Most heists happen on a later day. Futaba and Shido combine the calling card and boss fight on one day; Niijima and the final Royal Palace use fixed story dates.

Madarame requires multiple visits, so reach the courtyard barrier by May 31. Begin Niijima by November 16. In the third semester, complete the required Mementos section by February 1 before finishing the Palace route.

These dates assume you can finish each remaining step in its allotted visit. Low resources or unfinished prerequisites can require more time. Finish earlier when possible and keep a separate in-game save before committing to the final days.

Use the monthly checklist alongside your game

  1. Open the tracker and select your current month.
  2. Review Palace dates, relationship goals and dated activities.
  3. Check off tasks you finish and update your ranks after playing.

You choose your daily route. The tracker does not read your game save or guarantee a perfect run. Eligible unfinished tasks can carry forward; dated opportunities can expire. Use Sync to download a backup before changing devices or clearing browser data.

Review and scope

Palace dates reviewed against the linked player guides. The tracker and this page use the same date records. Futaba's route date is August 19 in the linked Royal walkthroughs; one general calendar lists August 18. Aim earlier and check the in-game mission calendar. This is a targeted reference review, not a new in-game validation run.
