Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic will go on trial at The Hague on Monday 26 October, the court says.
It is the second time in a week that the trial, originally due to start on 19 October, has been put back.
But Karadzic's attempts to have the start delayed by 10 months have been rejected by the court.
Karadzic is charged with 11 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity, including genocide, dating back to the Bosnian war.
They include charges related to the 1995 massacre of about 8 000 men and boys at Srebrenica.
Karadzic was arrested in Serbia and brought to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia last year, after more than a decade in hiding.
