Find the weekday, day of year and ISO week for any date.

How do you find what day of the week a date falls on?

The weekday is derived directly from the calendar date, and you also see the day of the year (counting from 1 on 1 January), the ISO week number and whether it's a leap year. ISO week 1 is the week containing the first Thursday of the year. For example, 22 June 2026 falls on a Monday — day 173, ISO week 26.
