August 1, 2027 falls on a Sunday
August 1, 2027 is a Sunday. It is 311 days from today, September 24, 2026. The date is day 213 of 365 in 2027, it sits in ISO week 30, and it is the 1st of a 31-day month with 30 days after it.
What day of the week is August 1?
In 2027 it is a Sunday. The weekday is not a property of the date itself, it is a property of the date in a given year, so the honest answer always names the year. A common year is 365 days, which is 52 weeks plus one spare day, so a fixed date moves forward one weekday from one year to the next. A leap year inserts a second spare day, so the step is two whenever 29 February falls inside the gap. That is why August 1 works its way around the week rather than repeating on a tidy schedule.

Between 2026 and 2027 the weekday moves from Saturday to Sunday, a step of 1. The day-of-year column also moves: August 1 is day 213 in a common year and day 214 in a leap year, because it sits after 29 February.
How often does August 1 fall at a weekend?
Counting the 28 occurrences from 2027 to 2054, August 1 lands on a Saturday 4 times and on a Sunday 4 times, so 8 of those 28 years put it at a weekend. Over a full 28-year stretch the Gregorian calendar repeats itself, and a fixed date visits each weekday four times, so the long-run answer is two weekend years in every seven.
