How Many Fridays Are in 2027? 53, With Every Weekday and Weekend Count

There are 53 Fridays in 2027 and 52 of every other weekday, by our count from the Gregorian calendar, because the year has 365 days and starts on Friday, Jan. 1. That makes 261 weekdays (Monday to Friday) and 104 weekend days, which is 52 full Saturday-Sunday weekends. Below are the counts, the months with five of each weekday and a free printable.

How many of each weekday are in 2027?

The U.S. Naval Observatory (USNO) states the rule: “years evenly divisible by 4 are leap years, with the exception of centurial years that are not evenly divisible by 400.” 2027 is not divisible by 4, so it is a 365-day common year. Fresh Calendars computed everything below from that rule and the Gregorian calendar; no official agency publishes these counts.

365 days is 52 full weeks (364 days) plus 1 day. That extra day is Friday, Dec. 31, so Friday gets a 53rd occurrence.

Weekday	Days in 2027	First date	Last date
Monday	52	Jan. 4	Dec. 27
Tuesday	52	Jan. 5	Dec. 28
Wednesday	52	Jan. 6	Dec. 29
Thursday	52	Jan. 7	Dec. 30
Friday	53	Jan. 1	Dec. 31
Saturday	52	Jan. 2	Dec. 25
Sunday	52	Jan. 3	Dec. 26

How many weekdays and weekends are in 2027?

Adding the rows gives 261 weekdays (Monday to Friday: 52 + 52 + 52 + 52 + 53) and 104 weekend days (52 Saturdays and 52 Sundays). Because Saturdays and Sundays both occur 52 times, there are 52 full weekends. These are calendar counts before any holiday.
