this is to apologize for my tardiness in the following dates vs this is to apologize for my tardiness on the following date

Both phrases have issues. The first phrase has a plural form 'dates' that doesn't match with 'tardiness,' which is singular. The second phrase is more correct but could be improved by using 'on the following dates' to match the plural form. The comparison is valid as they both address apologizing for being late on specific occasions.
