Based on previous WSO threads, there have been mentions of Google spreadsheets circulating with information about which banks have applications open. For example, in the thread titled "google spreadsheet of open apps?" from July 8, 2018, a user inquired about such a spreadsheet for that year. Additionally, another thread titled "What Applications Are Open Right NOW (Exhaustive SA 2021)?" from July 1, 2020, discussed the need for an exhaustive list of open applications to ensure the community doesn't miss out on opportunities.
For the most up-to-date information, you might want to check the WSO forums regularly or inquire within the community to see if a new spreadsheet has been created for the 2026 recruiting cycle. You can also explore the WSO Academy and other resources available on the Wall Street Oasis website for additional support and information on application timelines.
