Feb. 13 marks the first Friday the 13th this year. There are three in 2026.
The last time Friday the 13th immediately preceded Valentine’s Day was in 2015.
There are three Fridays that fall on the 13th in 2026. They are:
Feb. 13
March 13
Nov. 13
Three Friday the 13ths are the maximum possible in a year. While three Friday the 13ths are not rare, they only occur two out of 14 years, according to The Old Farmer's Almanac.
Conversely, some people were thrilled to see that February formed the "perfect calendar." With four seven-day weeks beginning on Sunday and ending on Saturday, February makes for a perfect rectangle on the standard Gregorian calendar.
