How many Friday the 13th in 2023?

The maximum number of Friday the 13ths possible in a single year is three, which happens in February, March, and November whenever a normal year starts on Thursday. This threepeat also happens whenever a leap year starts on a Sunday, like in 2012 (the year the world was supposed to end, according to superstition).

The number of times the 13th occurs on each weekday is given in the table below. As shown by Brown (1933), the thirteenth of the month is slightly more likely to be on a Friday than on any other day. On average, there are 1.72 ( ) Friday the 13ths per calendar year.

2022 started on a Saturday. And 2022 has 365 days. So, in this case, May 13, 2022 is our sole Friday the 13th for this year.
