Public Holidays in Poland 2026
Poland has 14 public holidays in 2026, with 8 falling on weekdays.
Every date, and the day it falls on
Two of these fall on a Saturday in 2026, on 15 August and 26 December. Under the Labour Code (Art. 130 § 2) a holiday on any day other than Sunday lowers statutory working time by 8 hours, so each one grants a day off in lieu and the legal norm for 2026 is 251 days, or 2,008 hours. The totals above count calendar working days, which is what a holiday list can establish; when the day in lieu falls is set by your settlement period.
