Why 2023 has 52 weeks
An ISO week year has 53 weeks when 1 January falls on a Thursday, or when the year is a leap year whose 1 January falls on a Wednesday. Every other year has 52. Because 52 weeks is only 364 days, the calendar has to absorb the leftover day or two somewhere, and a 53-week year is where it does that. Payroll systems, retail reporting and production planning all trip over this, because a 53-week year has one extra reporting period.
The year boundary
The first and last weeks of an ISO year rarely line up with the calendar year. Week 1 of 2023 starts on 2 Jan, and 1 January 2023 belongs to week 52 of 2022. This is not an error in the calendar: it follows directly from the rule that week 1 is the week containing the first Thursday, which keeps every week whole and every week in exactly one year.
Other years
The same calendar for 2020 to 2035. Years with 53 weeks are marked.
Frequently asked questions
How many weeks are in 2023?
2023 has 52 ISO 8601 weeks. A year has 53 weeks when it starts on a Thursday, or when it is a leap year starting on a Wednesday; otherwise it has 52.
Which week is 1 January 2023 in?
1 January 2023 falls in ISO week 52 of 2022. That is the previous ISO week year, because week 1 is the week containing the first Thursday, and in 2023 that week starts later.
Which week is 31 December 2023 in?
31 December 2023 falls in ISO week 52 of 2023.
When does an ISO week start?
On Monday. ISO 8601 defines the week as running Monday to Sunday, and week 1 as the week containing the first Thursday of the year, which is the same as the week containing 4 January. That is why an ISO week calendar can open in late December.
