2026 starts on a Thursday and ends on a Thursday. It has 365 days and is not a leap year, 53 ISO weeks and 261 weekdays. After the federal holidays are taken out, 250 working days remain for federal offices.
1 federal holiday falls on a weekend in 2026: Independence Day (Saturday, July 4, 2026, day off Friday, July 3, 2026). Federal offices follow the observed day; banks do not always do the same when the holiday is a Saturday.
Still ahead in 2026: Veterans Day (Wed, Nov 11), Thanksgiving Day (Thu, Nov 26), Christmas Day (Fri, Dec 25). The 2027 calendar is ready too.

Which file to print
One page: the whole year for a wall, a fridge or a binder cover. Landscape, US federal holidays shaded only on the "with holidays" version.
12 months: one month per page with big boxes for writing, ISO week numbers on the left and holidays labeled.
Monday start: the one-page version with weeks starting on Monday, the way most of Europe and many planners count.
Letter or A4: Letter (8.5 by 11 in) is the US and Canada size; A4 is used almost everywhere else.
