Reionization and the Cosmic Dawn are the last and least explored phases in the history of the Universe. I will shortly review the current status of our theoretical and observational understanding of these phases, as well as how novel radio arrays aim to statistically discover and trace neutral hydrogen (HI) at redshifts beyond 6 in the coming years. I will end with a view on the discovery potential that SKA offers, in the decade(s) to come, to perform detailed tomographic studies of HI well beyond the capabilities of current arrays.
