The dates in January 2026

Start with the right year
Use this sheet for a January 2026 plan or a record of dates from that month. Check the year when restoring an older project: a familiar January heading is not enough to identify its weekday arrangement. Keep one-time appointments separate from events you intend to repeat every year.
Optional U.S. federal holidays
These entries come from the reviewed 2026–2028 U.S. federal collection. Holiday dates and observed dates stay separate when they differ. The collection does not describe every school, state, local or business schedule.
| Date | Holiday | Date role |
|---|---|---|
| January 1, 2026 | New Year’s Day | Holiday and observed date |
| January 19, 2026 | Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. | Holiday and observed date |
Make the page useful on paper
Preview the whole sheet at the selected A4 or Letter size. Check the longest event label, the last date and any notes or legend. If the page is crowded, shorten supporting text or give the layout more space without changing the event dates.
Open this month in the editor before adding events. Choose the paper, orientation and week start on the same page, then download a fresh output after any change. Keep a JSON project backup if you want to revise the calendar later.
