Frequently asked questions

How many public holidays are there in November 2026 worldwide?

We count 34 public holidays in November 2026, spread across 22 of the 41 countries and regions we track, in date order in the table above. Breaks that spill over a month boundary are shown in full on both months.

Which countries have public holidays in November 2026?

Austria, Belgium, France, Italy, Philippines and Portugal and 16 more — 22 countries and regions in all. The table above gives the exact date for every holiday.

What are the first and last public holidays of November 2026?

The month opens with All Saints’ Day in Austria on Nov 1, and closes with Commemoration Day in United Arab Emirates, ending Nov 30.

Can I download the November 2026 holidays as a calendar file?

Yes. Every country's year page offers free ICS, CSV and PDF files that import straight into Google, Apple or Outlook Calendar, and subscribing to the ICS URL keeps the dates updated if a government revises them. Month pages have no file of their own — download per country instead.

Are these days off for everyone in those countries?

Not necessarily. The table aggregates nationwide statutory holidays. Australia, Malaysia, India and Canada add state- or province-level days on top, so the real count there is higher; annual leave and employer shutdowns are not counted either. Observances that are not days off are excluded.
