Você tem disponível na semana que vem?
"Disponível" is an adjective, not a noun; you cannot say "tem disponível".

Some learners mistakenly add an extra article: "na a semana que vem" – the article is already part of the contraction "na".

Cultural Tip
In Brazil, "tá" is the go‑to informal form of "está" and is heard in everyday speech, TV shows, and music. However, when speaking with elders, in a job interview, or in written communication, switch to the full form "está". Also, "semana que vem" is more colloquial, while "próxima semana" sounds slightly more formal but means the same thing.
