Through 2020, sea ice loss was much more in the Arctic than the Antarctic. That reversed in 2021, as Arctic sea ice volume increased.
This makes it harder to project a year when sea ice loss may be near-total in late summer.

What Happens in Antarctica, Doesn’t Stay in Antarctica 0823.rtf - Among other things, declining sea ice amplifies warming - locally and even globally - by increasing how much sunlight the Earth absorbs, for further warming. This albedo effect, an albedo feedback, amplifies how much Earth warms and how fast sea ice melts (shrinks). See top diagram on the Heat webpage.
