Poland 2026-2027 holiday and school schedule

Overview

The 2026 and 2027 calendars in Poland offer various opportunities for extended breaks through the combination of public holidays, school schedules, and government-designated days off.

In 2026, National Education Day in October and Independence Day in November both fall on Wednesdays, allowing for potential five-day weekends. The year concludes with significant rest periods. Because the second day of Christmas falls on a Saturday, Prime Minister Donald Tusk has granted civil service members an additional day off on December 28 to compensate.

The Ministry of National Education has further detailed the 2026/2027 school year schedule. A winter holiday period is set from December 23 to December 31, 2026. When combined with New Year’s Day and Epiphany on January 6, this could result in up to 12 consecutive days without classes, potentially extending to 21 days if school directors designate additional non-instructional days. A spring break related to Easter is scheduled from March 25 to March 30, 2027.

Looking ahead to 2027, the calendar offers further opportunities for rest. In January, the alignment of New Year and Epiphany can result in a 10-day break if four days of leave are used. Other notable periods include May, through the combination of Labor Day and Constitution Day, and November, where Independence Day and All Saints' Day allow for four-day breaks with minimal leave usage.
