Veterans Day 2026: November 11
Veterans Day 2026 is on Wednesday, November 11. It is a U.S. federal holiday that honors people who served in the United States Armed Forces.
Because Veterans Day stays on November 11 each year, the 2026 observance uses the same date and does not need a separate Friday or Monday observed date.
