No holiday or widely marked observance falls inside week 3 of 2026. The seven dates always run Monday through Sunday, which is the part of ISO 8601 that most often catches people out: a week that starts on Sunday is a different convention and gives a different number.
How ISO week 3 is worked out
ISO 8601 fixes week one as the week containing the first Thursday of January, which is the same as saying the week containing 4 January, or the week holding the majority of its days in the new year. Counting forward from there, week 3 is the 3rd Monday-to-Sunday block of 2026, which lands on January 12. All seven dates sit inside 2026, so the ISO year and the calendar year agree for this week.
When is week 3 in other years?
| Year | Monday | Sunday | Weeks in year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | January 12 | January 18 | 53 |
| 2027 | January 18 | January 24 | 52 |
| 2028 | January 17 | January 23 | 52 |
| 2029 | January 15 | January 21 | 52 |
| 2030 | January 14 | January 20 | 52 |
Week 3 shifts by a day or two each year because a year is 52 weeks plus one or two days, so the Monday that opens it moves from January 12 in 2026 to January 18 in 2027.
