Expect the most closures around May (3 holidays), so schedule deliveries and appointments with that in mind. One holiday is moved this year because the calendar date falls on a weekend, and it is listed once, on the day actually taken off, rather than twice. Below you will find the full 2026 list for Singapore, sorted by date, with the weekday marked for quick planning. We track national holidays only, leaving out regional variations, so the list stays consistent and easy to compare with other countries.
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 January 1, 2026 and the last is Christmas Day on December 25, 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 January 1, 2026.
When is New Year celebrated in Singapore in 2026?
In 2026, New Year's Day in Singapore is on January 1, 2026.
Which 2026 holidays in Singapore are moved to another day?
One is: National Day, which falls on August 9, 2026 but is taken on Monday August 10, 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. 9 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 February 17, 2026, Chinese New Year on February 18, 2026 and Hari Raya Puasa on March 21, 2026, plus 6 more.
How far ahead is the Singapore calendar actually fixed?
Through 2026. 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. No corrections to the underlying dataset were needed for Singapore.
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.
