Thanksgiving 2026 in the United States is on Thursday, November 26. In Canada, Thanksgiving 2026 falls earlier, on Monday, October 12. The American date is set by a 1941 act of Congress fixing it to the fourth Thursday of November. The Canadian date is set by a 1957 parliamentary proclamation fixing it to the second Monday of October. The day of the week is fixed in both countries, but the calendar date moves each year.
