Depends on your location. I can plant them here in September because it's normally cold enough, but October to November is probably best for warmer locations. If they're going in pots with fresh compost it doesn't matter so much.

They’ll be going in my lovely new pots! I’m in north west England so it might be quite chilly in September, I planted them the last week of September last year and they seemed to do okay, the odd one didn’t survive though
It also depends on the type of tulip. The species ones are much more forgiving, and will multiply when happy, but like most tulips, they don't like being waterlogged, so it helps to keep them against a wall or similar
Pots are fine because they won't get tulip fire in those with fresh compost. The problem will only really happen in the ground if it's warm, which is why @JennyJ has flagged that up, and that's when later in the year is advisable.
