How many Wednesdays until Palm Sunday?
There are 26 Wednesdays between today and Palm Sunday on Sunday, March 21, 2027. That is 180 days in total, or 25.7 weeks.
Why count wednesdays rather than days?
Counting a single weekday is useful when something repeats weekly, such as a class, a delivery or a recurring meeting, and you want to know how many more fall before Palm Sunday.

How the count is worked out
Counting starts from tomorrow, not today, and includes Palm Sunday itself if it lands on a Wednesday. That matters most when the event is close: a difference of one day at the start can change the total by a whole Wednesday. Because weekdays repeat every seven days, the count is roughly the number of days remaining divided by seven, then rounded up or down depending on which weekday today is. Today is a Tuesday, and Palm Sunday falls on a Sunday.
Wednesdays until Palm Sunday in future years
The figure changes every year, because both the starting date and the weekday Palm Sunday falls on shift. Counted from the same point each year:
| Palm Sunday | Weekday | Wednesdays in the year before |
|---|---|---|
| March 21, 2027 | Sunday | 52 |
| April 9, 2028 | Sunday | 52 |
| March 25, 2029 | Sunday | 52 |
| April 14, 2030 | Sunday | 52 |
| April 6, 2031 | Sunday | 52 |
Wednesdays by month
How the remaining wednesdays spread across the calendar between now and Palm Sunday:
| Month | Wednesdays |
|---|---|
| September 2026 | 2 |
| October 2026 | 4 |
| November 2026 | 4 |
| December 2026 | 5 |
| January 2027 | 4 |
| February 2027 | 4 |
| March 2027 | 3 |
Most months contain four of any given weekday, and some contain five. A month has five of a weekday whenever its length runs past the fourth occurrence, which is why the totals above are not evenly spread.
