October 2026 begins on a Thursday and ends on a Saturday: 31 days, 22 weekdays and 9 weekend days. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays come round five times this month.
October ends daylight saving in Europe a week before the United States falls back — for one week the usual time difference shifts. A note on a printed calendar is the cheapest fix.

Working days in October 2026
October 2026 has 22 weekdays. Nationwide public holidays that land on one of them take it back, so the count depends on the country:

| United Kingdom | none | 22 |
| Canada | Thanksgiving (Monday 12) | 21 |

Regional holidays — a state day in the US, Scotland's own bank holidays — are not subtracted. The linked pages carry the month-by-month table for the whole of 2026.

United States holidays in October 2026

|---|---|---|

Days marked with a region are set by those states rather than federally — Good Friday and Truman Day are days off where they apply and ordinary working days everywhere else. The generator can narrow the calendar to one state so only the days that actually apply are printed.
United States holidays are shown because that is what the generator opens with. The holiday country is a separate setting from the calendar language, so you can mark United Kingdom, Canadian or Australian holidays instead, choose from over two hundred other countries, or turn the holiday layer off entirely.
