There is provided a substrate processing method which can keep a surface of a substrate, which has hydrophobic properties, completely wet with a processing liquid during liquid processing, thereby preventing the formation of watermarks on the surface of the substrate. The substrate processing method for processing a substrate by supplying a processing liquid to a central portion of a surface of the substrate rotating horizontally, includes: determining the rotational speed of the substrate and the flow rate of the processing liquid when supplied to the surface of the substrate from a relationship between the rotational speed of the substrate and the flow rate of the processing liquid when supplied to the surface of the substrate, said relationship being dependent on the contact angle of the processing liquid with respect to the surface of the substrate and being capable of preventing partial draining of the processing liquid held on the surface of the substrate or partial drying of the surface of the substrate; and supplying the processing liquid to the central portion of the surface of the substrate at the determined flow rate while rotating the substrate at the determined rotational speed.
