Executive summary
November 2025 is the eleventh month of the year and has 30 days; in 2025 it begins on a Saturday (so November 1 is a Saturday) and includes two U.S. federal holidays: Veterans Day (Tuesday, Nov. 11) and Thanksgiving Day (Thursday, Nov. 27) [1] [2]. Major events scheduled for late November include the FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup in the Philippines (Nov. 21–Dec. 7) and the G20 Johannesburg Summit (Nov. 22) [3].
1. Calendar basics: what November 2025 looks like
November 2025 has 30 days and, according to multiple calendar references, starts on a Saturday this year — that structure determines how weekdays and weekends fall for planning vacations, pay cycles and events [1] [4]. Timeanddate and printable-calendar sites list month structure and holiday placement that many people and organizations use to arrange leave and deadlines [1] [5].
2. Federal holidays and public observances to bookmark
The two official U.S. federal holidays in November 2025 are Veterans Day on Tuesday, Nov. 11, and Thanksgiving Day on Thursday, Nov. 27; the Office of Personnel Management counts 12 federal holidays across the year, with Thanksgiving and Veterans Day among them [2]. Media outlets also note popular observances — for example, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Nov. 27 — and “fun” national days compiled by calendars and lifestyle outlets that can affect retail and media schedules [2].
3. Major international events scheduled in late November
Two headline international items appear in public event listings: the 2025 FIFA Futsal Women’s World Cup runs Nov. 21–Dec. 7 in the Philippines, and the G20 Johannesburg Summit is scheduled for Nov. 22, marking a noteworthy Africa-hosted G20 gathering [3]. Those events can affect travel, media coverage and diplomatic schedules for the period.
4. Economic and statistical release timing to expect
U.S. government statistical calendars show a set schedule of economic releases in November — including Job Openings and Labor Turnover, Producer Price Index and other labor and price indicators — which analysts and businesses track for policy and market planning [6]. If you rely on official data for forecasting or business decisions, consult the Bureau of Labor Statistics schedule for exact release dates that month [6].
5. Regional and cultural observances outside the U.S.
International and regional calendars note additional observances in November 2025: for example, India’s Guru Nanak Jayanti is observed Nov. 5 and the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup final, scheduled for Nov. 2 at DY Patil Stadium, is a major sporting marker in South Asia [7]. National-day listings and cultural holidays can influence travel demand, local business hours and news cycles in affected countries [7].
6. Moon and astronomical notes that may affect planning
Astronomical-calendar services highlight that around Nov. 20, 2025, the Moon will be at its farthest distance for the next 18 years — a point of interest for astronomers and photographers and possibly affecting tide-related considerations in coastal planning [8] [9]. Such items are rarely disruptive but are often referenced in lifestyle and science coverage for the month.
7. What the listings do not say (limits of available reporting)
Available sources give calendrical facts, scheduled international events and release schedules, but they do not provide exhaustive, day-by-day event lists for every country or full details on local observances and municipal closures; if you need local holiday specifics, municipal or national government calendars should be consulted (not found in current reporting). Also, while Wikipedia and news aggregators mention many items for November, they may be updated over time and should not be treated as final schedules for time-sensitive travel or official planning [10] [3].
8. Practical advice for readers planning around November 2025
Use an authoritative, local calendar for workplace and legal holiday confirmation (federal dates are listed at OPM and summarized by major outlets) and cross-check event dates for big international happenings (FIFA Futsal Women’s World Cup, G20) against official organizers’ sites; for economic timing, rely on the Bureau of Labor Statistics schedule for exact release dates [2] [3] [6]. For culture- or region-specific plans (e.g., religious festivals, state elections referenced in broader lists), consult national election commissions or local religious calendars because aggregated sources may omit last-minute changes [7] [3].
If you want, I can: (A) produce a printable November 2025 grid with the federal holidays and the two international events highlighted, or (B) compile a checklist of dates to watch for U.S. economic releases in November 2025 using the BLS schedule [6]. Which would help you most?
