September 2026 calendar

September 2026 fills five week rows, opening on a Tuesday and closing on a Wednesday. This page prints the month at the honest size of your paper — Letter or A4 — with Labor Day marked in its cell on Monday the 7th. It is the sheet that goes up when the school year starts and the summer improvisation ends.

Holidays in September 2026

Every date in the list below is computed against September 2026's real weekdays from the federal holiday rules — nothing is carried over from a previous year's table. Entries flagged federal are also marked inside their grid cell; observances appear in this list only, leaving the printed cells uncluttered. September keeps the rules simple this year: one federal date, landing on a Monday, so no observed-day substitution applies.

How this September 2026 page works

September is the month the household calendar stops being decorative. Term dates, practice schedules, and the first round of forms all arrive inside the same fortnight, and they arrive on paper more often than anywhere else. Thirty days is a forgiving grid to plan on — five clean week rows, no stray sixth — and the month opens on a Tuesday, which puts the first weekend a comfortable distance from the first Monday back. The coloring-top layout compresses the grid into the lower part of the page and opens a blank framed panel above it, so a child can fill the space while the adults fill the cells.

The sheet in the preview is the sheet that leaves the printer. It is drawn as SVG whose units are real millimeters, and when the print dialog opens, the page declares the exact dimensions of Letter or A4 stock — the browser then acts as its own PDF generator, laying the grid onto a surface whose size it knows precisely. Nothing here is transcribed. The code asks which weekday opens the month — a Tuesday — counts out 30 days, and places each in turn, wrapping five week rows deep. Labor Day appears in its cell because the first-Monday rule resolved to the 7th, not because a table said so.

Know what the sheet leaves out. There are no week numbers along the edge and no lunar phases in the corners — additions that suit some planners and clutter others. Non-federal observances are listed below the sheet for reference but never marked inside the cells; the grid reserves its ink for the federal set. If your week runs Monday to Sunday, the Monday-start option rebuilds the grid accordingly — still five rows for this month either way, so switching layouts does not change how tall the grid stands. And one setting decides whether the millimeter rules print or stay off the page.

Frequently asked questions

What day of the week is Labor Day in 2026?
Labor Day 2026 falls on Monday, September 7, and it is the only federal holiday in the month. The rule is the first Monday in September, so the date moves each year and is computed here rather than looked up. Because it already lands on a Monday, the federal observed date is the same day and no substitution applies. On the sheet the 7th carries the holiday mark inside its cell, which puts a three-day weekend at the end of the month's first full week.
What day does September 2026 start on?
September 1, 2026 is a Tuesday, and the month ends on Wednesday, September 30. That shape gives five week rows whether you set the week to begin on Sunday or on Monday, so the grid is the same height under either layout. A Tuesday opening also means the first row carries only five dated cells on a Sunday-start grid, which leaves a little more white space at the top of the sheet than a month that opens on a weekend.
How many days are in September 2026?
Thirty. September has thirty days every year, and in 2026 they run Tuesday the 1st through Wednesday the 30th. The grid is built by counting those thirty days out from the opening weekday rather than by copying a previous year's layout, which is why a month that repeats its length does not repeat its arrangement — September 2025 opened on a Monday and September 2027 opens on a Wednesday.
Is there a September 2026 calendar kids can color?
Yes. The coloring-top layout moves the date grid into the lower portion of the page and leaves a blank framed panel above it, sized for a drawing rather than a photograph. The same computed dates fill the cells, so the sheet stays usable as a calendar after it has been coloured. It prints in outline only, which keeps ink use low and leaves the panel genuinely blank instead of tinted.
Will the September 2026 calendar print at the right size on A4?
It is drawn in real millimeters and the page declares the stock size to the print dialog, so choosing A4 lays the grid onto A4 rather than scaling a Letter-shaped drawing down to fit. The one setting that matters is scale: leave it at 100 percent, and turn off any fit-to-page option your printer driver adds. The optional millimeter rules along the edge give you a way to check the result against a ruler.
