We’re happy to share a free printable list of U.S. Federal Holidays for 2026. This page presents the official nationwide holidays in a clear and easy-to-read format so you can quickly reference the important dates throughout the year.

Federal holidays are officially designated by the United States government and are generally observed by federal agencies and employees. On these days, most federal offices close and employees typically receive paid leave. However, private companies, schools, and other organizations may decide independently whether they will observe the holiday.

Under U.S. Code (5 U.S.C. §6103), the United States recognizes a specific set of federal holidays each year. Because the standard federal workweek runs from Monday to Friday, adjustments are sometimes made when a holiday falls on a weekend. When a holiday occurs on a Saturday, it is usually observed on the Friday before. If it falls on a Sunday, the observance typically moves to the following Monday.

Below you will find printable templates that display the complete list of U.S. federal holidays for 2026. These designs are simple, organized, and ideal for planners, offices, classrooms, or home use.
