Abstract

A summary of the on-going preparations from the ATLAS and CMS collaborations to perform top quark physics in Run II of the LHC and at the HL-LHC is given. To maintain the current level of precision and profit from the high-luminosity scenario expected in the next runs of the LHC, several new reconstruction techniques and detector upgrades are foreseen. The prospects for precise measurements and possible discovery stories for new physics with top quarks are summarized.
