ISO Week Number

What ISO week is January 1, 2027 in?

January 1, 2027 is a Friday, so it falls in the LAST week of the previous ISO year, not the first week of 2027.

Worked from a fixed input so the numbers stay put: 2027-01-01. Try your own on the home page.

This date's ISO week-numbering year (2026) is not its calendar year (2027)

2027-01-01 falls in ISO week 53 of 2026, not 2027, because ISO week 1 is defined by which week contains the year's first Thursday, not by January 1st. This is the single most common source of disagreement between "week number" tools.

Fix: Report the ISO year alongside the week number — "week 52 of 2025", not just "week 52".

Other examples

Not a general calendar or scheduling tool, and it does not know about business fiscal-year or retail 4-4-5 week numbering, which are different systems that also call themselves "week numbers." It has no concept of time of day or timezone — it operates on calendar dates only. Not for US-style "week of the month" or non-ISO week-start conventions (e.g. Sunday-start week numbering used by some US calendars).
