February 2026 Calendar

February 2026 has 28 days. The year 2026 is not a leap year, so February follows the standard 28-day pattern. The next leap year will be 2028.

February 2026 starts on Sunday, February 1st, 2026. This means the month begins on a weekend, which can be helpful for planning early-month activities.

Presidents' Day 2026 falls on Monday, February 16th. This federal holiday honors all U.S. presidents and is observed on the third Monday of February. Many businesses, schools, and government offices are closed on this day.

No, Valentine's Day is not a federal or public holiday in the United States. February 14, 2026 falls on a Saturday, so most businesses and offices will operate normally. However, it's a popular cultural observance celebrated with gifts, cards, and romantic gestures.

February 2026 has 20 weekdays (Monday through Friday) and 8 weekend days (Saturdays and Sundays). With one federal holiday (Presidents' Day on February 16), there are effectively 19 working days for most federal employees and businesses that observe this holiday.

Black History Month is observed every February in the United States to celebrate the achievements and contributions of African Americans throughout history. It features educational programs, cultural events, and commemorations that highlight the important role of Black Americans in shaping the nation.

The next leap year after 2026 will be 2028. Leap years occur every four years (with some exceptions), adding an extra day to February, making it 29 days instead of 28. This extra day helps keep our calendar aligned with Earth's orbit around the sun.

Besides Valentine's Day and Presidents' Day, February 2026 includes several other observances: Groundhog Day (February 2), Super Bowl Sunday (early February), and various awareness campaigns throughout Black History Month. The exact date for Chinese New Year varies but may also fall in February depending on the lunar calendar.
