Which calendar dates does each Walmart fiscal week cover?

Walmart supplier weeks run Saturday through Friday, arranged in a 4-5-4 month pattern. Each fiscal year below is the full week-by-week table: the WM week code, both dates, the fiscal month and quarter, and the holidays that fall inside the week.

FY2026 →FY2027 →FY2028 →

DIRECT ANSWER

The week year closes on January’s last Friday. The next one starts the following Saturday.

FY2027 runs January 31, 2026 to January 29, 2027, 52 weeks. The FY label uses the ending year; Scintilla’s numeric YYYYWW code uses the starting year, so FY2027 W01 is 202601 in Scintilla. The 4-5-4 month pattern gives each ordinary quarter thirteen weeks. FY2025 carried the extra week in Q4, whereas FY2024 had 52 weeks. A generic NRF calendar places that insertion differently. The calendar explanation separates these labels and reporting periods.

Last verified September 6, 2026. FY2024–26 boundaries agree with the dated reporting periods in the FY25 earnings presentation. FY2027–28 dates are calculated from the same year-end rule. The corporate financial year closes January 31; use the retailer’s relevant calendar and reporting basis for invoices, forecasts, and comparisons.

The files use the same calculations as the tables below. FY2026 year boundaries are corroborated by the earnings reporting periods. FY2027–28 are rule-derived planning dates, subject to the retailer’s published schedule. Holidays are calendar dates, not shipping closures or promotion dates. Reported last-year measures can use a different week alignment.

USE THE WEEK

Once you have the week, the question usually changes.

Convert one date or week

The Walmart week converter turns a date into its WM week or a WM week into its Saturday-to-Friday range, and the comp week finder lines this year’s week up against last year’s.

Understand the calendar

How Walmart weeks work explains the WMYYWW format, the fiscal-month pattern, and why week 47 almost never means calendar week 47.
