February 28, 2027 falls on a Sunday
February 28, 2027 is a Sunday. It is 157 days from today, September 24, 2026. The date is day 59 of 365 in 2027, it sits in ISO week 8, and it is the 28th of a 28-day month with 0 days after it.
What day of the week is February 28?
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 February 28 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 never moves for this date, because February 28 comes before 29 February and so is untouched by the leap day.
