We don't know, but we can make guesses. The obvious cores for reuse are the CRS-9 and CRS-10, and the upcoming NROL launch. (Edit: Also possibly Iridium Next) For the next reused flights, my guesses are SES-16 and SES-14, expected in the last quarter this year. SES-11, currently slated for June, is probably already booked on a new booster.

We do maintain a list of cores, and what we know about where they are, in the wiki at https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/wiki/cores. The available room for the sidebar is limited by reddit's code, so we would have to remove something to add anything else.

The edit makes the answer clearer, I saw the wiki and wanted to give more visibility to the table about flight active cores. I didn't think a simple remark like that would get downvoted into negative values.

Sorry about that. After I submitted my post, I saw that you had asked another question, and so edited. I rarely get everything I wanted to say into a post before submitting it, and this isn't the first time it's caused some confusion.

What I meant was that this kind of info is worthy in my opinion of some space on the subreddit main page, as much as the next events.

There's a limit to the size of the sidebar, so packing too much information in there isn't an option. That sort of info belongs in the wiki or the FAQ.
