When Is Thanksgiving 2026?

Thanksgiving Day 2026 falls on Thursday, November 26. It is a federal holiday observed each year on the fourth Thursday of November. This holiday is typically marked by the closure of federal offices, schools, banks, and many private-sector businesses. 

This year, Thanksgiving day falls on November 26, 2026.

The day after Thanksgiving, Friday, November 27, is not a federal holiday, but many businesses and non-retail organizations close or run reduced hours. If you are planning schedules or time off for your team, now is a good time to confirm who is working and post your holiday hours.

History of Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving has a long history in the United States, with early celebrations recorded as far back as 1619 in Virginia. As settlers from England arrived in the 1620s and 1630s, they brought traditions of setting aside time for fasting and giving thanks. In 1941, Congress and President Roosevelt set the holiday on the fourth Thursday of November.
