The Church has announced multiple temples will open for Phase 2 on August 17, 2020. This will bring the number of temples open for Phase 2 to 29. Phase 2  allows for all the performance of all temple ordinances for living individuals, with priority given for those who will be sealed. The next priority will be endowments for in-field missionaries (who left home prior to receiving their endowment), then followed by those departing for missionary service in the near future. These priorities will be addressed according to the capacity and scheduling ability of each temple.

The 17 temples that will open for Phase 2 are:

  • Adelaide Australia Temple
  • Anchorage Alaska Temple
  • Bountiful Utah Temple
  • Brigham City Utah Temple
  • Brisbane Australia Temple
  • Cedar City Utah Temple
  • Logan Utah Temple
  • London England Temple
  • Medford Oregon Temple
  • Mount Timpanogos Utah Temple
  • Nauvoo Illinois Temple
  • Ogden Utah Temple
  • Payson Utah Temple
  • Perth Australia Temple
