Fridays hold a special place in the week. For many, they mark the end of the workweek and the beginning of the weekend—a time for rest, family, and celebration. But how many Fridays will we enjoy in the year 2025? Let’s break it down month by month and look at the total count.
Overview of Fridays in 2025
The year 2025 is not a leap year; it has 365 days in total. Since 365 days equals 52 full weeks plus 1 extra day, every day of the week will occur 52 times, and one day will occur 53 times.
In 2025, Wednesday is the extra day (because January 1, 2025, falls on a Wednesday). This means that Fridays will occur exactly 52 times throughout the year.
