When do I apply for sophomore summer internships?

I am an incoming freshman at a semi-target, and I was just wondering about the timeline for applying to sophomore summer banking/finance internships. Do I start applying my freshman year or my sophomore year? 

Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
