Leap Year Checker

Check whether any year is a leap year, past or future — including the century rule that catches out the simple divide-by-four test.

2026 is NOT a leap year (365 days).

Previous leap year: 2024 — Feb 29, 2024 was a Thursday, February 29, 2024.

Next leap year: 2028 — Feb 29, 2028 will be a Tuesday, February 29, 2028.

How it works: the Gregorian rule — a year is a leap year if divisible by 4, except century years, which must be divisible by 400 (so 2000 was a leap year, 1900 and 2100 are not).
