sPHENIX is a state-of-the-art experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Hard probes are to be measured in p+p, p+Au and Au+Au collisions to understand the properties of the quark-gluon plasma. sPHENIX covers a wide range of physics programs: jet correlations and substructure, upsilon spectroscopy, open heavy flavor and cold quantum chromodynamics. It provides unique opportunities in the low transverse momentum region and also offer kinematic overlap with the Large Hadron Collider experiments. In these proceedings, the scientific mission of sPHENIX, detector design and key performance parameters are described, and expected projections of some measurements under consideration are presented.
