Direct answer: The Supreme Court has already heard oral arguments on the tariffs case in early November 2025, and it is not expected to issue a decision immediately. Most observers anticipate a ruling sometime in 2026, with some speculation it could come by mid or late spring, but no firm date has been set. The Court’s own timetable often extends to several months after arguments, especially for high-profile economic cases, and Justice opinions may be issued over multiple days. This means a definitive ruling on whether Trump’s tariffs are legal is unlikely before early 2026, and there could be late refunds or other administrative actions depending on the outcome.
