Why count sundays rather than days?
Sundays give the number of weekend days left, which is usually what matters for preparation, travel or shopping rather than working days.

How the count is worked out
Counting starts from tomorrow, not today, and includes Australia Day itself if it lands on a Sunday. That matters most when the event is close: a difference of one day at the start can change the total by a whole Sunday. Because weekdays repeat every seven days, the count is roughly the number of days remaining divided by seven, then rounded up or down depending on which weekday today is. Today is a Sunday, and Australia Day falls on a Tuesday.
Sundays until Australia Day in future years
The figure changes every year, because both the starting date and the weekday Australia Day falls on shift. Counted from the same point each year:
| Australia Day | Weekday | Sundays in the year before |
|---|---|---|
| January 26, 2027 | Tuesday | 52 |
| January 26, 2028 | Wednesday | 52 |
| January 26, 2029 | Friday | 52 |
| January 26, 2030 | Saturday | 52 |
| January 26, 2031 | Sunday | 53 |
Sundays by month
How the remaining sundays spread across the calendar between now and Australia Day:
| Month | Sundays |
|---|---|
| November 2026 | 3 |
| December 2026 | 4 |
| January 2027 | 4 |
Most months contain four of any given weekday, and some contain five. A month has five of a weekday whenever its length runs past the fourth occurrence, which is why the totals above are not evenly spread.
