USPS post offices are closed on Saturday, July 4, 2026 for Independence Day, and USPS says post offices will be open on Friday, July 3 with normal deliveries.

What that means

  • Closed: Saturday, July 4.
  • Open: Friday, July 3.
  • Mail delivery: Regular delivery pauses on the holiday.

Practical note

Because July 4 falls on a Saturday in 2026, some federal schedules may treat Friday, July 3 as the observed holiday, but USPS’s holiday listing still shows the holiday on Saturday, July 4 while noting normal operations on Friday, July 3.

Plan ahead

If you need to mail something around that weekend, the safest window is before Friday, July 3 or after Monday, July 6.
