I would like to display the week numbers in the calendar that is shown in Ubuntu with GNOME shell v3.26 when clicking on the date in bar at the top of the screen.

If you have dconf Editor, launch it and navigate to /org/gnome/desktop/calendar/show-weekdate. Then disable Use default value and set Custom value to True.

Alternatively just open Terminal and run

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.calendar show-weekdate true

As of 24.04, this option is now part of the native Ubuntu system settings. For the older versions, please see the end of this answer.

When you open the Settings application, at the bottom of the left menu, select "System" and then choose "Date & Time" from the right menu.

You can toggle the week numbers at the bottom of the "Clock & Calendar" section.

Before 24.04

You can do that with the GNOME Tweaks.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install gnome-tweaks

Open the application after installing it.

  1. Go to the "Top Bar" menu item from left.

  1. There's an option called "Show week numbers". Check it.
