Spanish Phrase
¿Cuándo estás disponible la semana que viene?
Meaning
A polite way to ask someone about the specific day or time they are free during the upcoming week. It focuses on the person's availability rather than a specific appointment.
When to use
Use this question when you need to schedule a meeting, a call, or a social activity with a friend, colleague, or client. It works well in both informal and semi‑formal contexts, especially when you want to give the other person flexibility.

Using third‑person singular "está" with "tú" is grammatically incorrect unless you are speaking formally to a third party.
¿Cuándo estás disponible la semana que viene?
If you want to refer to the week after next, you must say "la semana que sigue" or "la semana después de la próxima".

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, asking about someone's "disponibilidad" is considered courteous and shows respect for their schedule. For a more formal tone, especially in business, you might replace "estás" with "está" (third‑person) or use the phrase "¿Cuándo le viene bien?". Also, avoid using "libre" with "estar" (e.g., *estás libre* is acceptable informally, but *está libre* sounds more formal).
