Belgium has ten statutory public holidays. A weekend or normal non-working-day holiday is replaced at workplace level; no single national substitute date is invented here.
Private-sector workers generally may not be employed on this statutory holiday, except where Belgian law permits Sunday work. The employer owes holiday remuneration and, where applicable, compensatory rest or a substitute day under the federal rules.
The National Bank of Belgium publishes its own closure calendar and lists this observance for 2026. Commercial-bank hours and payment-system availability should be checked separately because the NBB list is not a universal retail-bank schedule.
Schools, colleges and universities may remain closed if the holiday is officially observed.
Easter Monday is the statutory Monday following Easter Sunday. Its civil date moves each year with the Western Christian Easter calculation.
The Monday extends Easter into a statutory day that moves with the Christian calendar.
The day continues the Easter weekend and may include family or religious activity. Belgian public-holiday law defines employment treatment rather than a required form of celebration.
Because Easter Monday completes a multi-day weekend, use the dated timetable issued by the relevant rail, road or local transport operator; federal holiday law does not set service frequency.
Easter Monday is observed in Belgium.
The public holiday status depends on the official holiday calendar for Belgium.
