I have got ILR from 28 May 2019. What date can I apply for naturalisation? I live in the UK since 2005.

12 months from your ILR date, i.e. 28 May 2020, or if you are married to a British citizen apply now, or could have applied on 28 May 2019.

Thank you for your quick reply. My wife is not British yet. So I can apply any time after 28 May 20? Not before? Not like other applications you can apply 28 days before.

No, because naturalisation is not an immigration application. You need to have completed one year after ILR, no 28 day concession.
