July 3, 2027 falls on a Saturday
July 3, 2027 is a Saturday. It is 283 days from today, September 23, 2026. The date is day 184 of 365 in 2027, it sits in ISO week 26, and it is the 3rd of a 31-day month with 28 days after it.
What day of the week is July 3?
In 2027 it is a Saturday. 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 July 3 works its way around the week rather than repeating on a tidy schedule.

Between 2026 and 2027 the weekday moves from Friday to Saturday, a step of 1. The day-of-year column also moves: July 3 is day 184 in a common year and day 185 in a leap year, because it sits after 29 February.
How often does July 3 fall at a weekend?
