Malawi · 2026

Malawi records 11 holidays in 2026. 11 are nationwide public holidays and 0 apply only in certain regions. Not one public holiday lands on a weekend in 2026 — every single one falls on a working day. New Year's Day (1 Jan 2026), John Chilembwe Day (15 Jan 2026), Martyrs' Day (3 Mar 2026) and 2 others sit on a Tuesday or Thursday: book the Mondays and Fridays and each becomes a four-day break. The busiest month is Jan, with 2 of them. The longest run without one is 101 days, between 6 Jul 2026 and 15 Oct 2026. The next is Christmas Day on 25 Dec 2026.
