Working days in Portugal, 2026
Portugal has 251 working days in 2026: the year's 261 weekdays, minus the 10 nationwide public holidays that land on one. The month-by-month table below is computed from the same holiday data the calendar maker prints.

- The fullest month is July with 23 working days; the lightest is February with 19.
- Counts use nationwide holidays only — regional ones (a state day in the US, a cantonal day in Switzerland) reduce the total further where they apply.
- Weekends are Saturday and Sunday. Half-day customs — a Christmas Eve afternoon, a Bayram eve — are not subtracted.
Which holidays are subtracted
The 10 nationwide holidays falling on weekdays come from the same dataset as the Portugal public holidays 2026 page, which lists each one with the weekday it lands on — and how Portugal's holiday system works:
- Portugal’s calendar mixes civil and Catholic holidays, and each municipality adds its own local day — Lisbon celebrates Santo António on 13 June, Porto São João on 24 June.
- There is no substitution for weekend holidays.
- Carnival Tuesday is customarily granted by government decision each year but is not a statutory holiday — it appears in the data as observed.
