It's present tense. There is no "future tense" in English, there are several ways to talk about the future.

There are many who believe there is a future tense in English. It is formed by will/shall + verb. There are also other ways to discuss the future. "Someday" indicates a future plan or hope, but it does not create a verb tense.
