What is the scheduled court date or next hearing for Tyler Robinson?

1. What the record shows: the immediate next hearing reported in September–October

Multiple contemporaneous reports from late September 2025 record that Judge Tony Graf set a near-term hearing for Sept. 29 (a waiver/scheduling matter) and then, after defense requests for time to review evidence, scheduled a follow-up on Oct. 30 for an in-person appearance or further scheduling — the Oct. 30 date is noted in reporting by Newsweek, CBS, Fox13 and others ^{[1] [2] [4] [5]}.

2. Why Oct. 30 mattered: discovery and “voluminous” evidence

Media accounts emphasize the defense’s need to review a large body of discovery before deciding whether to seek a preliminary hearing; defense counsel asked for more time and the judge accommodated that request, prompting the Oct. 30 scheduling entry ^{[2] [5]}. Reporters framed the date as procedural: not a trial, but a scheduling/waiver or preliminary-hearing planning session ^{[2] [5]}.

3. The change: hearings postponed into January 2026

Subsequent coverage says the previously planned October in-person appearance was delayed and that in-person hearings were rescheduled for January 2026. Reporting specifies two January dates — Jan. 16 and Jan. 30 — listed as in-person hearings starting at 1 p.m. MST at the Utah County Courthouse in Provo ^{[3] [6]}. Fox News and other outlets likewise reported the preliminary hearing was postponed to January as lawyers litigated camera-access and discovery issues ^[7].

4. Conflicting timelines in coverage and what to trust

News outlets reported a sequence of dates as the case evolved: initial short-term dates (Sept. 29, Oct. 30) and later rescheduling into January. That reflects a common courtroom reality: scheduling entries are fluid when defense and prosecution seek more time for discovery or to brief motions. Sources explicitly document both the October scheduling order and the later January postponement ^{[2] [3] [7]}.

5. What the dates actually mean — procedural posture, not trial

All sources characterize these entries as pretrial scheduling or preliminary-hearing appearances, not a substantive jury trial calendar. The Oct. 30 entry was for scheduling and to determine whether a preliminary hearing should be set; the January sessions were described as the first in-person hearings with Robinson present, not trial dates ^{[5] [3] [6]}.

6. Media access, optics and the reason for courtroom requests

Defense motions about Robinson appearing in civilian clothes and without restraints, and prosecution attempts to limit photography and filming, were central to scheduling fights that influenced when hearings would occur. The judge granted some limits (e.g., no photographing Robinson entering/leaving courtroom) but denied others (such as unshackling), and that dispute contributed to moving and narrowing in-person dates ^{[8] [9] [6]}.

7. Misinformation and viral claims: release rumors addressed

Fact-check reporting flagged viral posts claiming Robinson had been released as false, noting he remained in custody and that the next significant hearing had been pushed to January 2026 — this counters social-media misinformation ^[10].

8. Limitations and open questions in reporting

Available sources report specific hearing dates (Sept. 29; Oct. 30; Jan. 16 and Jan. 30) and the reasons for changes, but none of the provided materials establish a final, locked-in trial schedule or list dates beyond late January 2026. For trial dates or any filings after Jan. 30, 2026, available sources do not mention that information ^{[3] [2]}.

9. Bottom line for readers seeking the “next” date

If you consult contemporaneous reporting from late September 2025, the next hearing was Oct. 30; later follow-up coverage documents that in‑person hearings were postponed to Jan. 16 and Jan. 30, 2026. Which date is “next” depends on the snapshot in time of the reporting you read; the most recent sources provided place the next in-person appearances in January 2026 ^{[2] [3] [7]}.
