How many days are in 2026?
2026 has 365 days, made up of 261 weekdays and 104 weekend days. In weeks that is 52.14, which is why the year does not divide cleanly and why 1 January moves one weekday forward into 2027. The year contains 52 Mondays and 52 Saturdays.
Is 2026 a leap year?
No. 2026 is a common year of 365 days, so February has 28. The nearest leap years are 2024 and 2028. The leap rule adds a day in years divisible by four, skips it in years divisible by 100, and adds it back in years divisible by 400.
2026 calendar, all twelve months
Every month of 2026 laid out. Today is marked. Each grid links to that month's own page.
3 of these fall at a weekend in 2026. Where a country moves an observance to the nearest weekday, the substitute day is not shown here because the rule differs by country and by employer.

The traditional names are folk names in long use for the full moon of each month, not a computed property of the moon itself.
Eclipses in 2026
4 eclipses are catalogued in 2026: an annular solar eclipse on 17 February, a total lunar eclipse on 3 March, a total solar eclipse on 12 August, a partial lunar eclipse on 28 August. Dates are the Universal Time date of greatest eclipse, and each is visible only from part of the Earth, so a listed eclipse is not necessarily one you can see. Eclipse dates are transcribed from the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center eclipse catalogues rather than computed here.
