Depends on region or areas. In Sub Sahara Africa it’s between June and early July.

The best month to plant soybeans depends on your location, climate, and the specific growing season in your region. Generally:
In the U.S. Midwest and similar regions: Soybeans are typically planted in late April to early June. Optimal planting occurs when soil temperatures reach at least 50°F (10°C) and the risk of frost has passed. Planting too early in cold, wet soil can lead to poor germination and disease issues.
In Southern regions: Planting may occur as early as late March to April, as warmer climates allow for an earlier start.
Tropical and subtropical regions: Soybeans can often be planted year-round, but the timing should align with the rainy season or periods of consistent soil moisture
-
Soybeans can be successfully planted in late April or early May in these regions but final stands may be more erratic so an insecticide/fungicide seed treatment is recommended for late April and early May plantings.

Climate changes in regions of the world, play vital roles nowadays

The global (MGs), Maturity Groups system of Soybeans plays a vital role in the best month of its planting, as this is based on varieties ecological properties and adaptability.
