# nextWeekend(startingAfter:start:interval:direction:) Returns the range of the next weekend via two inout parameters. The weekend starts strictly after the given date. ``` func nextWeekend(startingAfter date: Date, start: inout Date, interval: inout TimeInterval, direction: Calendar.SearchDirection = .forward) -> Bool ``` ## Parameters `date` The date at which to begin the search. `start` Upon return, the starting time of the calendar component that contains the date. `interval` Upon return, the duration of the calendar component that contains the date. `direction` Which direction in time to search. The default value is `.forward`. ## Return Value `false` if the calendar and locale do not have the concept of a weekend, otherwise `true`. ## Discussion If `direction` is `.backward`, then finds the previous weekend range strictly before the given date. Note that a given entire day within a calendar is not necessarily all in a weekend or not; weekends can start in the middle of a day in some calendars and locales. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
