Frequently asked questions
How many public holidays does Singapore have in 2026?
Singapore has 13 national public holidays in 2026. The first is New Year's Day on 1 January 2026 and the last is Christmas Day on 25 December 2026.
What is the first public holiday of 2026 in Singapore?
The first public holiday of 2026 is New Year's Day, which falls on 1 January 2026.
When is New Year celebrated in Singapore in 2026?
In 2026, New Year's Day in Singapore is on 1 January 2026.
Which 2026 holidays in Singapore are moved to another day?
One is: National Day, which falls on 9 August 2026 but is taken on Monday 10 August 2026. A moved holiday is one holiday with a shifted day off, not two holidays, so it is counted once here. Sites that list both the weekend date and its replacement report a higher total than the official calendar does.
Are regional holidays included for Singapore?
No. This calendar lists national public holidays only, so it stays consistent across countries. Holidays that apply to just part of Singapore are listed separately on the Singapore holiday hub, together with the regions that observe them.
Do the Singapore holiday dates change from 2026 to the next year?
Some of them do. Nine of the 13 holidays in 2026 sit on a moving rule (lunisolar calendar, islamic (hijri) calendar and linked to easter, plus 1 more), so their date has to be recalculated for every year. The rest keep the same calendar date and only change weekday. Moving ones this year include Chinese New Year on 17 February 2026, Chinese New Year on 18 February 2026 and Hari Raya Puasa on 21 March 2026, plus 6 more.
How far ahead is the Singapore calendar actually fixed?
Through 2027. The Ministry of Manpower gazettes the following year's public holidays one year at a time, so anything past that is computed from the rules in force rather than read off an official list. This table also applies 3 corrections to the underlying open dataset, each checked against the legislation. The full list with sources is on the Singapore holiday hub.
Which Singapore holidays are regional, and which move?
The table above is the national calendar for 2026. Some holidays keep the same date every year while others are tied to Easter, to a lunar calendar or to a named weekday, and some parts of the country add their own days off. The Singapore holiday hub breaks that down: which holidays are fixed, which move and why, and which ones are observed in certain regions only.

Plan around the Singapore 2026 calendar
Knowing the dates is half the question. The other half is what they add up to: which of them create a long weekend on their own, and where a single day of leave turns a holiday into a four day break. That is on the Singapore long weekends page for 2026, alongside how many working days 2026 actually has once weekends and holidays come out. The same figures are available as JSON, and the dates as a calendar file.
