The Constitution (Article 2, Section 3) requires him to "from time to time give to the Congress information on the state of the Union". This does not have to be an annual event, but has become so by custom and it does not have to be a speech,

but that is what people expect now and it gets great press coverage so it has become a political necessity.

Is there a date specified in the constitution for the state of union?

No. The Constitution merely requires that the President "from time to time" inform Congress as to the state of the union. It does not have to be a speech, and in fact every President from Thomas Jefferson until Woodrow Wilson submitted the state of the union in a letter to Congress. The speech traditionally takes place annually, but this is not constitutionally required.
