Epiphany Sunday in 2026 will be January 4, 2026 for churches that transfer Epiphany to the Sunday between January 2–8 (common in the U.S. and some other Western countries).

Date in 2026

  • Many Roman Catholic dioceses and some Protestant churches celebrate “Epiphany Sunday” on the first Sunday after January 1, which in 2026 falls on Sunday, January 4.
  • The traditional fixed-date Epiphany feast itself is January 6, 2026 (a Tuesday), but that is not called “Epiphany Sunday” in calendars that keep it on the weekday.

Quick context

  • Traditionally, Epiphany is on January 6 and commemorates events such as the visit of the Magi and, in some traditions, the baptism of Jesus.
  • Since 1970, several Western countries have moved the public liturgical celebration to the Sunday after January 1, which creates the movable “Epiphany Sunday” date like January 4, 2026.

TL;DR: When people ask “when is Epiphany Sunday 2026,” they almost always mean Sunday, January 4, 2026, not the fixed Epiphany date of Tuesday, January 6.
