There are certain times dua (supplication) is more likely to be accepted by Allah (S.W.T) as mentioned by Prophet (S.A.W.S). These times are as follows:

1. The Last Third Of The Night
Abu Hurairah (R.A) narrated that Allah's Messenger (S.A.W.S) said: 'In the last third of every night our Rabb (Cherisher and Sustainer) (Allah (S.W.T) descends to the lowermost heaven and says; "Who is calling Me, so that I may answer him? Who is asking Me so that may I grant him? Who is seeking forgiveness from Me so that I may forgive him?."' [Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith Qudsi]

Amr ibn Absah narrated that the Prophet (S.A.W.S) said: 'The closest any worshipper can be to His Lord is during the last part of the night, so if you can be amongst those who remember Allah at that time, then do so.'[at-Tirmidhi, an-Nasa'i, al-Hakim - Sahih]

2. Late at night
When people are sleeping and busy with worldly pleasures Allah (S.W.T) gives the believers an opportunity, or an answer hour if they can fight sleep and invoke Allah (S.W.T) for whatever they need.

The Prophet (S.A.W.S) said: 'There is at night an hour, no Muslim happens to be asking Allah any matter of this world or the Hereafter, except that he will be given it, and this (occurs) every night.'
[Muslim #757]

3. Between Adhan and Iqamah
Anas (R.A) narrated that Allah's Messenger (S.A.W.S) said: 'A supplication made between the Adhan and Iqama is not rejected.'
[Ahmad, abu Dawud #521, at-Tirmidhi #212, Sahih al-Jami #3408, an-Nasai and Ibn Hibban graded it sahih (sound)]

4. An Hour On Friday
Narrated Abu Hurairah (R.A): Allah's Messenger (S.A.W.S) talked about Friday and said: 'There is an hour on Friday and if a Muslim gets it while offering Salat (prayer) and asks something from Allah (S.W.T), then Allah (S.W.T) will definitely meet his demand.' And he (the Prophet (S.A.W.S) pointed out the shortness of that particular time with his hands.[Sahih al-Bukhari]

Some have said that this hour is from the time the Imam (prayer's leader) enters the mosque on Friday's prayer until the prayer is over (ie between the two khutbahs), whereas others have said that it is the last hour of the day (ie after the Asr prayer until the Maghrib prayer).

5. While Drinking Zamzam Water
Jaber (R.A) narrated that Allah's Messenger (S.A.W.S) said: 'Zamzam water is for what it is drunk for.' [Ahmad 3: 357 and Ibn Majah #3062].

This means that when you drink Zamzam water you may ask Allah (S.W.T) for anything you like to gain or benefit from this water such as healing from illness.... etc.

(I want to add here- Dua to be read while drinking Zamzam water:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمَاً نَافِعَاًً وَرِزْقَاً وَاسِعَاًَ وَشِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ
"O Allah, I seek beneficial knowledge, wide sustenance and cure from all ailments from You".
[Hisnul Hasin])
