Working days in 2027 in the UK and Canada
| Region | Working days in 2027 |
|---|---|
| United States (federal) | 249 |
| United States (Federal Reserve and banks) | 252 |
| England and Wales | 253 |
| Scotland | 252 |

Christmas 2027 falls on a Saturday and Boxing Day on a Sunday. In the UK the substitute bank holidays are Monday, December 27 and Tuesday, December 28. In Canada the rule depends on the jurisdiction: the federal count above takes December 27 and 28 off, where banks and federal offices close on the next working day. Ontario and British Columbia law leave Christmas (and, in Ontario, Boxing Day) on the weekend, so their counts treat December 27 and 28 as working days, although many employers close then. Good Friday 2027 is March 26. UK dates are from gov.uk; see also how many UK bank holidays.
