How many Sundays until December 2026?

How we count the Sundays

A simple rule drives this page. Count each Sunday that comes after Wednesday, November 4, 2026 and ends before December 1, and do not count anything else.

Everyone counts differently. Some use days, some use sleeps, and some use Sundays, which is what this page does for December.

Expect 4 Sundays on the way to December. Sunday, November 8 comes first, and Sunday, November 29 closes the list.

Why the number of Sundays changes each year

The extra day in a common year does the work here. It shifts every fixed date one weekday along, so the weekday of December 1 keeps moving.

Because of the shift, December lands on a different day of the week each year. This year it falls on a Tuesday, and that is why the count above is 4.

Leap years bend the pattern. With 366 days, dates move two weekdays rather than one, so the run of Sunday counts changes faster.

Visit again next week and the figure will have changed. One Sunday drops out each time one goes by, until none are left before December 1.

Using the count for planning

A routine that runs on Sundays benefits from a count like this. You can plan how much to do each week and still finish in time.

Schools, clubs and gyms often run classes on Sundays. For them the count is a quick way to see how many sessions are left.

Remember that the count leaves out today and December 1 itself. If you want to include either one, add one to the number shown.

Because a Sunday comes round only once a week, the number left before December 1 is a fair measure of time. Few other counts are as simple.

Use the table as a checklist. Tick off each Sunday as it passes, and the work before December 1 feels more manageable.

A weekly habit is easier to keep when you can see the end. The list above shows how many Sundays remain, so you can pace yourself before December 1.

For a different weekday, use the tiles near the top. They show the same span for every day of the week.

Some years give one more Sunday than others, and that is why the same page changes from year to year.

A short wait can still hold a lot of Sundays, so a quick glance at the figure helps. The total is rechecked each time the page loads. The list below shows every date.

Reading the list is quicker than counting on a wall calendar. It also avoids slips, such as skipping a week or counting a day twice.

A tidy way to use the page is to note the first Sunday now. Then tick off each one as it passes and watch the total fall.

Planning around the Sundays

Sunday, November 29 is the last Sunday before December.
