When will the Microsoft ODBC driver for SQL Server be released for Ubuntu 26.04?

The repository already exists and it is possible to perform the following steps. 

curl -sSL -O https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/26.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb
apt update

But no msodbc packages can be found yet, apt search msodbc yields no results.

Does Microsoft publish a roadmap with release dates for this kind of thing?

    Microsoft has not published a GA release of the Microsoft ODBC driver for SQL Server (msodbcsql17 or msodbcsql18) that lists Ubuntu 26.04 as a supported operating system.

    The latest release notes and download pages list newly supported distributions (for example, Debian 13, Ubuntu 25.10, RedHat 10, Azure Linux 3.0), but Ubuntu 26.04 is not among them yet.

    Microsoft does not publish a public roadmap with specific future release dates for adding new Linux distribution support for the ODBC driver. The recommended approach is to periodically check the official release notes and the ODBC driver download page for updates when new distributions become supported.
