Sunday 27 September 2026 is not included in the shopping-Sunday calendar published by Poland’s National Labour Inspectorate. It is not a day of general store opening under those provisions.

The next designated shopping Sundays

After 30 August, the next dates listed are 6, 13 and 20 December. The inspectorate’s 2026 calendar contains no designated shopping Sundays in September, October or November.

Exceptions do not guarantee opening

Exceptions include petrol stations and pharmacies. The inspectorate also describes owner-operated sales under statutory conditions and online retail. Permission to operate does not require a particular outlet to open.

Check before travelling to a store

Our practical suggestion is to check the chosen store’s notice for its exact address. Search-engine opening hours may describe an ordinary week. If making a special journey for one item, a call to the outlet can prevent an unnecessary trip.

For online purchases, distinguish placing an order from dispatch and collection. The seller’s and carrier’s arrangements determine when the parcel is prepared. A website accepting orders on Sunday does not establish same-day delivery.
