Holidays in Mexico 2027 - FAQ
How many mandatory holidays does Mexico have in 2027?
Mexico observes 7 días de descanso obligatorio in 2027 under Article 74 of the Ley Federal del Trabajo. Two land on a Saturday in 2027 (Día del Trabajo on 1 May and Navidad on 25 December), which means those holidays do not produce a working-day reduction. The other 5 fall on weekdays.
How many días hábiles does Mexico have in 2027?
Mexico has 256 días hábiles in 2027 on the federal mandatory count. Because two Article 74 holidays collide with the weekend, the working-day total is one or two higher than 2026. SAT, IMSS, and INFONAVIT deadlines that hinge on the 17th of the month will roll forward less often than in 2026.
Why does Article 74 not shift Día del Trabajo to Monday?
The 2006 reform to Article 74 only relocated three holidays to a designated Monday: Día de la Constitución, Natalicio de Benito Juárez, and Día de la Revolución. The other four holidays in Article 74 are still anchored to their original calendar date and do not shift if they land on a weekend. So Día del Trabajo on Saturday 1 May 2027 simply joins the weekend with no in-lieu Monday under federal labour law.
