In a standard calendar year, there are typically 52 weekends , each consisting of two days (Saturday and Sunday), totaling 104 weekend days annually
. Because a year has 365 days, which equals 52 weeks plus 1 day, there are usually 52 Saturdays and 52 Sundays. Some years may have an extra Saturday or Sunday, resulting in 53 weekends on rare occasions depending on how the days fall
. In a leap year (366 days), there can be 105 or even 106 weekend days if the extra day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, which may increase the number of weekends to 53 in some cases
. To summarize:
- Standard year: 52 weekends (104 weekend days)
- Leap year: Usually 52 weekends, sometimes 53 weekends (105 or 106 weekend days)
This slight variation depends on the day of the week the year starts and ends
