What's in the free 2026 calendar

• Page 1: 2026 year at a glance. All 12 months on one sheet with holidays shaded, plus a list of every federal holiday and its date. It's the page to use for planning vacations, school breaks and big events.
• Pages 2 to 13: monthly pages, January to December 2026. Landscape US Letter pages with big write-in boxes (about an inch tall) so there's room for two or three entries a day.
• Holidays marked on the day. Each federal holiday is printed in small text in its box, including observed dates when a holiday falls on a weekend.
• Clean, ink-light design. One accent color and thin grid lines, so it prints well on home inkjet and laser printers.

2026 US federal holidays

These follow the federal holiday rules published by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. Your employer or school district may observe a different set of days off, so add local closures in pen. For observed dates plus Easter, Hanukkah and other key days, see our full list of 2026 holidays.

Calendar 2026 with holidays: using the rest of the year

If you searched for a calendar 2026 you can print right now, the free PDF on this page is a full 2026 calendar: a year-at-a-glance page and 12 monthly pages, with every federal holiday in the table above marked on its day. Because it's a calendar 2026 with holidays already filled in, you don't have to look up when Thanksgiving or Christmas falls before you start writing.

Halloween isn't a federal holiday; see is Halloween a bank holiday? for what's open that day. See the Halloween countdown for a daily count.

With 2026 nearly over, print only the months you still need. The November page (page 12) and the December page (page 13) cover Veterans Day, Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 26, and Christmas Day on Friday, December 25. For a month with a planner page, use our November 2026 calendar or December 2026 calendar. When you're ready to plan ahead, the 2027 calendar uses the same layout for next year. Before you hang the November page, note that daylight savings time ends on Sunday, November 1, when clocks fall back an hour.

How to print your 2026 calendar printable

1. Download the PDF from the button on this page and open it in any PDF reader or browser.
2. Pick your pages. Print everything for a binder, or type a page number to print a single month (January is page 2, December is page 13).
3. Set landscape and actual size. On US Letter paper choose "actual size". On A4 choose "fit to page".
4. Choose your paper. Plain paper is fine for monthly fridge copies. For a calendar that hangs all year, use heavier paper or light cardstock.
5. Bind it. A binder clip at the top makes a quick wall calendar. A three-hole punch turns it into a section of a home management binder.

Ways to use a printable calendar at home

In December, pair it with one of our advent calendar ideas for a countdown the kids can tick off.

Family command center

Hang the current month where everyone passes, usually the fridge or the hallway by the door. Give each person a color and write practices, appointments, school days off and birthdays. A five-minute Sunday check-in keeps it current. If you also use a screen, our guide to choosing a digital calendar explains how paper and digital work together, and how to organize a family calendar covers the weekly routine.

Bill and payday calendar

Write each bill on its due date and each payday in a second color. Tight weeks jump out right away. Pair it with a monthly budget worksheet, or see the Budget Planner Printable ($5.99) for monthly budget, bill and savings pages that sit behind the calendar in a binder.

Meal and grocery plan

Jot dinners in the bottom of each box, then build the shopping list from that. Our monthly meal planner shows how to plan 30 dinners at once.

Cleaning and home maintenance

Add recurring jobs such as changing the furnace filter, testing smoke alarms and deep cleaning the fridge. The cleaning schedule template and home maintenance checklist list what to put on the calendar and how often.

Monthly, weekly or yearly view?

A monthly page shows the shape of the month, which is perfect for appointments, bills and birthdays. It's not great for detailed to-dos. If your days are busy, add a weekly planner for tasks and keep the month for events. If you mainly plan trips and school breaks, the year-at-a-glance page may be all you need. For a deeper look at monthly layouts, see our monthly planner guide.

If you want to fill in the dates yourself, our free blank calendar template works for any month or year.

Need just one month? Our free December 2026 calendar adds a holiday list and a week-by-week plan.

Planning just one month? Our free November 2026 calendar has Sunday-start and Monday-start pages plus a planner for Thanksgiving.

Calendar template options: dated, blank or editable

A calendar template is a ready-made grid you print or fill in, so you don't have to draw the boxes yourself. Which one to use depends on how you plan:

• A dated calendar template has the days already numbered, like the 2026 calendar on this page. It's the fastest option when you know which year you need, and the holidays are already marked.
• A blank calendar template is undated, so you write in the month and the numbers yourself. It never goes out of date, which makes it good for school years, custom schedules and blank printable calendars you reuse. Our free blank calendar template has undated monthly, weekly and yearly pages.
• An editable calendar template lets you type into the boxes before you print, which keeps things neat when several people share the calendar.

Many households use two: a dated year page for holidays and long weekends, and a blank monthly page they reprint whenever a busy month needs more room.

What's left on the 2026 calendar

With two months of 2026 to go, these are the dates worth writing on your November and December pages now:

Add your own birthdays, school concerts, travel days and gift-shopping deadlines in pen, then switch to the 2027 pages for January.

Where the holiday dates come from

The federal holiday dates on this page follow the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's federal holidays list. When a holiday falls on a weekend, the observed day off moves to the nearest Friday or Monday for most federal workers. USA.gov also keeps a plain-language list of federal holidays if you want to double-check a date for school or work.

Want more than a calendar?

The free calendar covers dates. If you want the whole household system in one place, the Household Binder ($6.99) is a printable PDF with a monthly calendar, weekly planner, meal planner, grocery list, weekly cleaning page, bill tracker, birthdays and important dates, and emergency information pages. The Home Management Bundle ($16.99) adds the Moving Planner, Home Maintenance Log, Home Inventory, Cleaning Schedule and Password & Accounts Log.
