How many Tuesdays until Australia Day?
There are 12 Tuesdays between today and Australia Day on Tuesday, January 26, 2027. That is 79 days in total, or 11.3 weeks.
Why count tuesdays rather than days?
Counting a single weekday is useful when something repeats weekly, such as a class, a delivery or a recurring meeting, and you want to know how many more fall before Australia Day.
Every Tuesday between now and Australia Day

How the count is worked out
Counting starts from tomorrow, not today, and includes Australia Day itself if it lands on a Tuesday. That matters most when the event is close: a difference of one day at the start can change the total by a whole Tuesday. 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.
Tuesdays 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 | Tuesdays in the year before |
|---|---|---|
| January 26, 2027 | Tuesday | 53 |
| January 26, 2028 | Wednesday | 52 |
| January 26, 2029 | Friday | 52 |
| January 26, 2030 | Saturday | 52 |
| January 26, 2031 | Sunday | 52 |
Tuesdays by month
How the remaining tuesdays spread across the calendar between now and Australia Day:
| Month | Tuesdays |
|---|---|
| November 2026 | 3 |
| December 2026 | 5 |
| 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.
