<p>You may only cast sorceries when it is your turn, during one of your main phases, while the stack is empty. So no you cannot cast them during combat.</p>

<p>Can I cast sorceries in combat phase, or only instants? For example, could I cast <a class="mtg-autocard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bPress%20into%20service%5d">Press into service</a> after blockers are declared to take control of a declared blocker?</p>

Although you may only cast sorceries on your turn during a main phase when the stack is empty, there are ways to circumvent that: [Quicken](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=370644)

Sorceries can't be cast during combat.
