Which PCB week matches
That break overlaps PCB Week 2 (Mar 6 – 12) for 6 of its 7 days and also touches Week 3. PCB Club Card sells its cards by week, so see the PCB Club Card for Week 2 at PCBClubCard.com (2027 cards are on sale now; artists are TBA). Our Week 2 guide covers crowds and lodging odds, and this comparison helps if your break straddles two. Other schools’ official break dates are on PCB Club Card’s spring break 2027 dates page.
