We would like to upgrade our Sonar setup to 7.x but waiting for LTS release.
(i hope it is ok to "impersonate" the question for the 6.x LTS which g.ann was so nice to answer)
If such info would be made available on the interwebs somewhere we would not need to ask here.
cheers and thank you in advance!

What's the current LTS version? The current LTS is 8.9 (check the Downloads page for the latest patch version), initially released May 2021.
SonarQube version - Found under System Info at Administration > System. SonarQube edition.
SonarQube Community Edition is free. All other SonarQube editions are commercial and require a paid license. SonarCloud is entirely free for all open source projects. You only pay if you want to analyze private repositories.
Features of SonarQube are: Focuses on more than just bugs and complexity and offers more features to help the programmers write code, such as coding rules, test coverage, de-duplications, API documentation, and code complexity all within a dashboard.
Since the last LTS, we added support for six more languages and hundreds of new rules. We now help you spot bugs, vulnerabilities and code smells in 27 popular languages. With SonarQube, your development team finds security issues right in code review where they’re easiest to fix.
You should compile plugins against SonarQube 9.0 to ensure they're compatible and to check if they're using a deprecated API that has been dropped. ( SONAR-14925, SONAR-14885 ). Upgrading directly from SonarQube v7.9 LTS to v8.9 LTS? Refer to the LTS to LTS Release Upgrade Notes.
Java 11 is required for SonarQube scanners. Use of Java 8 is no longer supported. See the documentation on Moving Analysis to Java 11 for more information. ( MMF-2051 ). Support for Internet Explorer 11 and other legacy browsers has been dropped.
What is an LTS? LTS means Long Term Support. SonarSource has committed to releasing point versions of the LTS for Blocker bugs and vulnerabilities. So if you're on the current LTS, you can get fixes without being impacted by any changes to functionality or user experience.
As far I know there is no public schedule available. You can find the latest versions here. SonarQube 5.6 LTS was released in Jul 2016; SonarQube 6.7 LTS in Dec 2017 so it is likely that the 7.x LTS version will be released somewhere in the first half of 2019. The latest SonarQube news is posted here and you can also follow the feedback channels. On the Google forum (will be moved very soon) you can find messages about pre-releases for example. You can also have look at the cloud version; that will be updated first.
Update May 2019 In a blog SonarSource announced the end of support of MySQL, starting from SonarQube v7.9. So there will be one more minor version update before a LTS version is made or they skip v7.8. See the roadmap page regarding the new v7.9 LTS version.
