Lorentz invariance is a fundamental symmetry of physics, yet many theories of quantum gravity predict tiny violations at low energies. Neutrino oscillations provide a highly sensitive interferometric probe of such effects. In this talk, I explore the impact of Lorentz Invariance Violation (LIV) in the JUNO and T2HK experiments. LIV modifies the neutrino propagation Hamiltonian, introducing energy-dependent corrections that can alter mass ordering determination and CP violation sensitivity. I discuss the projected constraints from JUNO and T2HK, parameter degeneracies with standard oscillation physics, and the complementary reach of reactor and accelerator experiments in probing fundamental spacetime symmetries.
