There are four 5th Saturdays in 2027: January 30, May 29, July 31, and October 30.
2027 starts on a Friday and is not a leap year, so it has 52 Saturdays in total. Four months stretch long enough to fit a fifth one.
All 5th Saturdays in 2027
| Month | Saturdays in the month | 5th Saturday |
|---|---|---|
| January | 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 | January 30 |
| May | 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 | May 29 |
| July | 3, 10, 17, 24, 31 | July 31 |
| October | 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 | October 30 |
The other eight months have exactly four Saturdays.
Why These Four Months?
A month gets a 5th Saturday only when its first Saturday falls on the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. That depends on the weekday the month starts on:
- 30-day months (April, June, September, November) need to start on a Friday or Saturday. None do in 2027, so none qualify.
- 31-day months need to start on a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. In 2027, January and October start on Fridays, May starts on a Saturday, and July starts on a Thursday.
- February has 28 days in 2027, so it can never have a fifth.
Summary
2027 has 4 months with a 5th Saturday: January, May, July, and October.
