One-page yearly calendar — 2026, 2027 or any year

Pick the year, week start and orientation; the calendar draws all twelve months as compact grids on one Letter or A4 page with federal holidays and popular observances shaded. Print it for the wall, the binder cover or the desk mat.

Year at a glance for planners, homeschool and academic years

Bullet journalers use it as the future-log spread. Homeschoolers and teachers often want it August-to-July instead — that's the academic calendar template. For two or three years on one sheet see the two year calendar, and for the whole year on one line, the linear calendar.

Tips for the best result

Landscape for wall display. Landscape orientation gives each mini-month a wider, more legible layout — best for a wall or bulletin-board calendar.

Portrait for binders. Portrait orientation fits neatly into a 3-ring binder or clipboard planner.

Pick your colors. An accent color for the holiday shading and a text color for the calendar itself, each with presets and a custom picker.

Holidays are marked. US federal holidays plus popular observances (Easter, Mother's Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, etc.) get a soft blue highlight on the correct dates.

Prints on any printer. Sized for standard 8.5 × 11" US Letter paper.

Frequently asked questions

When is a year-at-a-glance calendar more useful than a monthly one?
When you need long-range visibility — booking vacations months out, planning a school year, mapping product launches, or tracking quarterly milestones. The trade-off is per-day writing space: each day cell is small, so this format is for orientation, not journaling. Pair with a monthly event calendar if you need both views.
Portrait or landscape — which should I pick?
Landscape gives each mini-month a wider, more legible layout — best for a wall or bulletin board. Portrait fits neatly into a 3-ring binder or clipboard planner. Both options are one click in the generator.
Can I pick any year, or just the current one?
Any year from 2025 onward, several years out. Holidays auto-shift to the right dates for the year you choose — Easter, Mother's Day, Thanksgiving, MLK Day, etc. all land on their correct dates per year.
How is this different from the multi-year calendar?
Year at a Glance shows ONE year on one page. The multi-year calendar shows 2 or 3 full years on one landscape page — denser, but useful when your planning runway crosses calendar years (school terms, baby's first years, multi-year projects).
Will Sundays or Mondays start the week?
Either — the 'Week starts on' control switches every mini-month between Sunday-start (the US convention) and Monday-start (the ISO standard, common outside the US).
Can I change the calendar's color?
Yes, two ways. Accent color — black, blue, green, red, purple, orange or any custom color — carries the holiday shading and weekend dates. Calendar text color — black, charcoal, navy, forest, burgundy or any custom color — sets the title, month names, weekdays and dates. Black on black is the classic monochrome; the live preview shows every combination before you generate.
What are the optional header designs?
Twenty-three decorative strips that print across the top of the page in place of the plain title — a skyline, pines, a sailboat, bunting, balloons, confetti, a rainbow arc, twelve month tiles, four season pills, a ticket stub and more. Scroll the list beside the sample, click one to see it on the calendar, and the design prints with your chosen year. Leave it on 'No header' for the classic plain title.
Are these calendars really free?
Yes — every Apollo's Templates calendar is free, no signup, no watermark, no email required. Print as many as you want for personal, classroom, or office use.
Is there a Word or editable version of the year at a glance calendar?
It's a fillable PDF rather than a Word template: generate it here with the year and layout you want, then type notes into it in any PDF viewer. That's usually quicker than editing a Word year-at-a-glance and it keeps the twelve grids aligned when you print.
