The Gospel of Saint Luke can be dated in two ways (1) The Gospel of St. Luke clearly pre-dates the Acts of the Apostles (as the preface to Acts shows, it is the second letter to Theophilus) and (2) The Gospel of St. Luke was already widely distributed in the Churches when 2 Corinthians was written.

St. Luke abruptly ends the Book of Acts during St. Paul's imprisonment, showing St. Paul was alive when Acts was written. But St. Paul died in 67 A.D. by martyrdom together with St. Peter as seen above. Thus, Acts pre-dates A.D. 67. It was likely written during St. Paul's imprisonment around 61 A.D.
It can well be concluded, therefore, that the Gospel of St. Luke was not only written but even widely distributed already by this time.
Further, the secularist [https://www.britannica.com/topic/The-Letter-of-Paul-to-the-Corinthians Encyclopedia Brittanica] admits: “The Second Letter of Paul to the Corinthians (II Corinthians in the New Testament) was written from Macedonia in about 55 CE[sic]”. Thus, since the Epistle of II Corinthians states St. Paul is sending “the brother, whose praise is in the gospel through all the churches" (2 Cor 8:18), clearly St. Luke, it follows that the Gospel was already written by 55 A.D.
It can also well be concluded, from the text, that the Gospel of St. Luke was not only written but even widely distributed already by this Epistle date.
