Today, Saturday, Oct. 31, 2026, is a Saturday Halloween, and the next Saturday Halloween is Saturday, Oct. 31, 2037, 11 years away. We computed every weekday in this story from the Gregorian calendar, the civil calendar used in the United States, with the leap-year rule the U.S. Naval Observatory (USNO) publishes. Halloween is always Oct. 31, so only the weekday changes from year to year.
For how the day looks this year, see our story on Halloween 2026 on a Saturday. The When is Halloween? page has the date itself.
What day is Halloween each year from 2026 to 2050?
Weekend years, meaning Friday, Saturday or Sunday, are in bold. Of the 25 years from 2026 to 2050, 11 are weekend years.

| 2027 | Sunday | Yes |
| 2028 | Tuesday | No |
| 2029 | Wednesday | No |

When is the next Halloween on each day of the week?
Counting from 2027, the soonest Halloween on each weekday:
| Weekday | Next Halloween | Years from 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Sunday | Oct. 31, 2027 | 1 |
| Tuesday | Oct. 31, 2028 | 2 |
| Wednesday | Oct. 31, 2029 | 3 |
| Thursday | Oct. 31, 2030 | 4 |
| Friday | Oct. 31, 2031 | 5 |
| Monday | Oct. 31, 2033 | 7 |
| Saturday | Oct. 31, 2037 | 11 |
Halloween 2027 is a Sunday, so next year’s is a weekend night but not a Saturday. Saturday comes last of the seven weekdays.
Why is the wait for a Saturday Halloween 11 years?
In a common year of 365 days, Oct. 31 moves one weekday later, because 365 is 52 weeks plus one day. After a Feb. 29 it moves two. Halloween 2027 is a Sunday, but 2028 is a leap year, so Halloween 2028 jumps two days to Tuesday.
From 2026 to 2037 there are 11 years and three leap days (2028, 2032 and 2036). That is 11 plus 3, or 14 days, exactly two weeks, so Oct. 31 lands on a Saturday again. Gaps are usually 5 or 6 years because only one or two leap days fall in between; 2026 to 2037 is the stretch where three do.
The Saturday Halloweens around today:
| Saturday Halloween | Years since the one before |
|---|---|
| 2009 | |
| 2015 | 6 |
| 2020 | 5 |
| 2026 | 6 |
| 2037 | 11 |
| 2043 | 6 |
| 2048 | 5 |
When are the next Friday and weekend Halloweens?
The next Friday Halloween is Oct. 31, 2031, five years from now, followed by Fridays in 2036 and 2042. From 2027 to 2045, 8 of the 19 years have a Halloween on Friday, Saturday or Sunday: 2027, 2031, 2032, 2036, 2037, 2038, 2042 and 2043. Our printable list marks them.
Does every weekday get the same number of Halloweens?
Almost. The Gregorian calendar repeats exactly every 400 years, 146,097 days or 20,871 weeks, so weekdays repeat too. We counted Oct. 31 for 2001 to 2400:
| Weekday of Oct. 31 | Years in 400 |
|---|---|
| Monday | 58 |
| Wednesday | 58 |
| Saturday | 58 |
| Thursday | 57 |
| Friday | 57 |
| Sunday | 56 |
| Tuesday | 56 |
Saturday ties for the most, with Monday and Wednesday. For how weekdays repeat across years, see how often the calendar repeats. A similar date puzzle is the next Friday the 13th.
