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. While November 1 falls on a Sunday and November 11 on a Wednesday, the Ministry of National Education has not mandated a nationwide school closure between these dates; any additional breaks depend on individual school directors' decisions. Discussions regarding the 2026/2027 academic year have highlighted the impact of scheduled breaks on families. Specifically, students may face a potential extra day off on November 2, referred to as ‘listopadówka’. While not a national statutory holiday, school directors have the authority to designate additional non-instructional days. Regarding the November 2026 schedule, All Saints Day on November 1 falls on a Sunday, which does not trigger a compensatory day off under the Polish Labor Code. However, National Independence Day on Wednesday, November 11, will reduce the monthly working time by eight hours. In total, November 2026 will include 10 non-working days: nine weekend days and one public holiday, leaving 20 working days for the month. The upcoming Independence Day long weekend is projected to be the most affordable holiday period of 2026. Data from Travelist.pl indicates average nightly hotel rates of approximately 510 PLN, a 5 percent decrease from the previous year and over 25 percent cheaper than other long weekends in 2026. For the 2026/2027 school year, the Ministry of National Education has established a winter holiday schedule divided into three distinct periods to distribute student leave. The first group, including Podkarpackie, Dolnośląskie, Łódzkie, Opolskie, Podlaskie, and Śląskie, will have holidays from January 18 to January 31, 2027.
