For Hegel the future is subjectivity’s relation to the accidental.

Evidence

Now the Greek word συµεηκς, ‘accident’, derives from the verb συµα νειν which means at the same time to follow from, to ensure and to arrive, to happen. Thereby it can designate continuation in both senses of the word, as consequence, that is, ‘what follows’ in the logical sense, and as event, that is, ‘what follows’ in a chronological sense. Self-determination is thus the relation of substance to that which happens. Following this line of thought we understand the ‘future’ in the philosophy of Hegel as the relation which subjectivity maintains with the accidental. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 248
